I was messing around with my dual monitor setup, I dragged the ribbon to the other monitor and it disapeared. I've done everything from file<reset to loading the default ui to show<ribbon and deleting the ui files and repairing the software and I still cannot get the ribbon to reapear
View 2 RepliesRibbon has been acting strange. One example is when creating a sweep the ribbon will not show the mode options to accept or discard changes while creating the sweep path. I have to cycle the ribbon display options to show the X and check options to complete the sweep path. This is only one example of many different odd things happening.
Sometimes when I am simply drawing model lines the selection options for rectangle, circle etc do not appear until I cycle the ribbon display options. This only started in the last week or two.

I am trying to customize Autocad 2012 ribbon tab. I can't seem to find how to mimic the small arrow that appears in several of the standard menus. For example, in the 3D Solids - Home Tab, the second panel from the left is "3D Solids Home - Mesh" It has a small arrow in the corner that opens up a preferences dialogue box.
How can I add that arrow to a custom panel with that little arrow so that I can add my command to it?
Where are the bits of the Ribbon API to add a slide out to a ribbon panel?
Autodesk.Windows.RibbonControl ribbonControl = Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon; RibbonTab Tab = new RibbonTab(); ribbonControl.Tabs.Add(Tab); // create Ribbon panels Autodesk.Windows.RibbonPanelSource panel1Panel = new RibbonPanelSource(); panel1Panel.Title = "Panel1"; RibbonPanel Panel1 = new RibbonPanel(); Panel1.Source = panel1Panel; Tab.Panels.Add(Panel1);
I saw some source that hinted you could use panel1Panel.AddSlideout() but in the search I do not see any Ribbon API that allows for any slideout functionality?Do you *have* to use the CUI API for this?
Why new rooms show up in lieu of existing rooms when"show previous and demo" are set for the phase filter? Every single other existing element including doors, walls, windows, etc. show in the "show previous and demo" phase filter with the exception of rooms.

I'm currently switching from my "old" customized UI with a few dozen of my own macro scripts and toolbars and would like to get all of that to the ribbon, but I encountered a few obstacles.
1. Is there a way to use the old bitmap strip icons for a given command, the way you can change the display options in a custom toolbar or .ico files are the only option in a ribbon?
2. I'm trying to recreate the main toolbar (the default one in Max) in the ribbon. There are two problems with this:
- first I don't know how to recreate the dropdown lists (like named selection sets, or render presets).
- second thing is that when I use a command in the ribbon that has a certain icon assigned to it ('select and move' for example has the crossed arrows and you can see them in the customize dropdown list with commands) it works fine only for the small icons. The field for the large icon is empty and the small icon is visible in the ribbon property dialog, but there is no path for the icon image, so it apparently works with the .bmp file. Go figure. Would be great if Max would automatically assign that icon to both small and large icon field.
3. I would like to be able to show/hide the menu, command panel and if I won't be able to recreate some of the features in the main toolbar, hide it as well. The most efficient way for me would be to have it available under a key shortcut or quad menu, but for some reason the command found under 'customize user interface' named show/hide menu doesn't work at all. Show/hide main toolbar toggle, which is a separate command for some reason does work. Of course there is an icon in the quick access toolbar that actually works, but it's two clicks instead of one key and with the tiny icons it's not that fast.
4. Is there a way to make the ribbon tabs show up on the right side of the ribbon in the horizontal position or move them freely, centered ... any other configuration ?
5. Is there an option to merge from a .ribbon file only certain tabs from a ribbon and not the whole ribbon ?
6. When you hide all toolbars the only way to get them back via the right-click menu with the list of toolbars is to click on the very thin (few pixels wide) strip on the right side of the command panel. Not a problem if you know where to look for, but it's really hard to find. Luckily I have a key shortcut for the main toolbar, but I can imagine that a new user might freak out a little bit.
7. Finally it's more of a suggestion, than some problem, but it would be great to be able to take any toolbar and with one click convert it to a ribbon tab.
After the last issue with ACAD and Vista my IT director has finally decided I can have a new computer... In April. So I need to know what people think would be good graphics cards, processors, etc. for ACAD 2012 & 2013. I say 12 because most times I'm in 13 something goes wrong (Vista). So I have gone back to 12.how to use the Ribbon now and I guess I'll have to learn Windows 7 too. I like my XP and toolbars and I'll miss them.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a custom ribbon in vb.net. And it works now.
However. To make it work i had to do a workaround because IExtensionApplication.Initialize is apparently run before the Ribbon is created in AutoCAD. To make it work i created a time that runs until the ribbon is created.
But i think this is implementation is flawed since i had to do the workaround, but also because the ribbon disappearse when the ribbon is updated. Say when the user changes something in the CUI menu.

I am using ACAD MEP 2012. While i was working on a drawing my AutoCAD session locked up and terminated the program, not thinking anything of it i just restarted ACAD and started working on the same drawing. I noticed the ribbon looks different and now all the command buttons are not showing up under the tabs they are ALL in dropdown windows now. I don't know what happened to the original ribbon setup but it is definitely not what it used to be. Attached below are pics of what i am referring to. The first picture is what it used to look like, the second and third pictures are what they look like now.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I tried downloading and installing this INCREMENT app from the Exchange Store. First, I can't get this to run at all. If I go into the CUI settings dialogue, I don't see this plug-in listed anywhere where it should appear. It had occurred to me that maybe the only way this app works is from the plug-in tab and not from the command line, but I'm not sure that makes any sense, either seems it should work either way, if I'm interpreting the documentation correctly. But, I cannot make my ribbon tab appear to check out my probably mistaken theory (see above). Navigating around the CUI dialogue and checking the settings for my tab, I see that it is set to "show" and there is every indication that it should appear, but there seems to be something buggy or suspicious going on with the
Control-0 (clean screen) toggle and/or the Control-9 (command line) toggle as well?I don't see how either of these would have any affect on the visibility of my tab, if they were toggled to the correct setting. I am the only person using this workstation so it's not like there is a profile issue at work here.
In the Default.ivb I have created a function that creates a new panel and adds some buttons in the panel.
I see the panel and the buttons, but nothing happens when I click on them.
The documentation says that in order to listen to the events of my buttons I should declare a "Private WithEvents ButDef As ButtonDefinition", but it when I try I get an error message "Only valid in object module"
Another question, still related to the events, I would expect to find a _StartUp event where I should run my function, but I can't find that event.

View 2 Replies View Relatedthis newbie question. I could not figure it out how to do this.
I found a sample project named RibbonSample in which by running a command, a new tab will be added to the ribbon.
I am trying to have that tab added upon loading the dll. So I added that command in the constructor of the dll, by "
SendStringToExecute" command. But the new tab did not show up. Then I added the method which creates the tab in the constructor, and I found the same thing. In both cases, when I type the command for creating the ribbon tab, a second tab, along with the first tab I added in the constructor, show up.
So I guess two possible options I have: first, find a way to make the new ribbon tab to be shown at first place, when the dll is loaded. Second, to find a way to postpone running a command added in the constructor of the dll, until the dll is loaded, so it can run like when I type it.
I have seen printed images of people's names, drawn in what I would call "Ribbon Candy" type font (I don't know if there's a proper industry name for it)

I don't use MLINE much (and thought the command was DLINE) and wanted to draw 2 parallel lines. I found I could type MLINE and do what I want.
