Load User Tools (.utd) in NX3

Where did the Load “User Tools” option go in NX3? did they remove it?

NX2
Tools -> Customize -> User Tools (tab)
NX2 User Tool

NX3
Preferences -> User Interface -> User Tools (tab)
NX3 User Tool

In NX2 and previous versions of UG and UGNX the Load “User Tools”(.utd) operation was found under Tools -> Customize -> User Tools (tab).

In NX3 they moved it to Preferences -> User Interface -> User Tools (tab).

I’m not sure the reason they moved this but my guess would be that .utd (user tools) are old, and there are better ways to accomplish the same thing. So from my standing .utd is legacy and should only be used to maintain old code, until you can refactor to use the current tools.
