AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Initialize Custom Ribbon Bar At Startup
Jan 1, 2014
I created a Net dll plugin and successfully loaded in Civil 3d 2014 with NetLoad command, the plugin contains a ribbon bar with a ribbon button launching a dialog.., but when To be Loaded automatically (by AutoLoader) at startup it did'nt load, is there any way to make it load automatically at Civil 3d start up
This is happening in both Map 3D 2011 and Civil 3D 2011 directly on startup and I can seem to get a straight answer as to what is causing this, or how to fix it. The automatic response was to download a fix for the language pack, but that didnt work. Standard AutoCAD 2011 works without any issues, same with ecotect.
Ive already uninstalled and re-installed both of the problem programs.
I get error error "Failed to Initialize Stone + Wire connection when I start Smoke 2013. It working fine for 3 weeks.I uninstalled, reinstall, and still cannot get it to work.
Do I need to get a new download? Someone said it may be due to my internet connection.
I have been using the ribbon api to create my custom ribbon. I am now attempting to load said rribbon at startup by placing the load command into the initialize componant. It isn't working.
Dim ribCntrl As Autodesk.Windows.RibbonControl = Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon If ComponentManager.Ribbon Is Nothing Then Return End If For i As Integer = 0 To ribCntrl.Tabs.Count - 1
[code]...
I seem to remember being told it's because the ribbon .dll hasn't yet started at this point sso it has nothing to use to load it?
I have been using AutoCAD 2006. Our company is switching to AutoCAD 2012 LT. I want to be able to add my custom toolbar buttons from the 2006 to the 2012 LT custom Ribbon Tabs & Panels. I have figured out how to make the custom ribbon, tab and panel. I just haven’t figured out what I need to do to get the old stuff to where I can add them to the panels.
I have custom 2006 buttons with and without flyouts.
The company I work for has just switched to Max2012 but my machine has a problem with it. I get this error on startup and whenever I open and close the ribbon:
-- Unknown property: "validobjfunc" in #StructolyBoost(undefined:<data>;Public)
It throws open the max script editor window and a message prompt saying the above text. If I press OK, the message goes away. When I close the editor the message comes back and we have a loop!
To get around it I can press OK. Then run script and go to max root > stdplugs > stdscripts > PolyTools.ms
I looked around and saw people had this error on previous versions of max and the fix was to place a copy of polytools.ms in the startup folder. I tried this and polytools.ms crashes instead on startup. To me from the error given it looks like the ribbon isn't loading a script somewhere that it should do. Placing it in the startup folder makes sense as a temporary fix but in this case it doesn't work. I can run the script after every time max has loaded but this is inconvenient and means I can't do any batch operations which I do quite often.
My PC specs are Win XP x64 SP2, Xeon W3550, 12gb ram, quaddro 3800 and dual screen monitors, I also use a Wacom tablet.
The problem happens in both x64 and x86 installations of 3ds max. We have reinstalled 3ds max countless times. My colleagues have identical computers, hardware wise, haven't had the same issues. We're using SP2 patched 3ds max 2012 too.
I am running Civil 3D 2013 on Windows 7- 64 bit OS. When I open Civil 3D I get an error saying "INTERNAL ERROR: Cannot Initialize ASI". Civil 3D has been functioning properly for months and all of a sudden this error came up.
I am new in the autodesk customization, I have autocad 2013 and visual studio 2010..I am interested in make a custom ribbon tab, where I can put a button.
I have found some (incomplete) samples to implement a custom ribbon tab, but I dont know how to "insert" my tab into autocad 2013, and how must I load my tab? with a command? or it can load automatically?
I've been developing a way for our drafters to properly use a layer scheme. I implemented this by using a background database defined in Excel and loading this on startup. The interface is provided by custom ribbon elements as described in Fenton Webb's "UI Design featuring WPF" (autodesk university, 2009).
The ribbon contains the following custom elements:
- two series of radioboxes which are stripped of the default WPF multithreading
- a dropdown which monitors and manipulates LTSCALE
- a dropdown which selects values from the background database.
- a UserControl which displays information from the background database about the current layer
All this has worked fine on multiple (about eight) computers with AutoCAD 2010 and 2012, vanilla and Map 3D. Now for two users, the workspace randomly freezes up. The freeze is just visually, commands are still executed and it is still possible to switch to a workspace without my ribbon in it, but my ribbon just stays on the foreground. This freeze happens when the user interacts with any part of the ribbon: switching tab, clicking buttons, etcetera.
The only way to resolve this problem so far is as following:
- Switch to another workspace without my custom ribbon tab
- Restart AutoCAD
- Switch back to the original workspace, everything works now
Directly restarting AutoCAD just results in another frozen interface.
How to create a custom ribbon with sketches cmd... I found example for assembly context... it work well but I don't find how to do that in sketch mode... The goal is to control the cmd the user can use.
I have made a 2012 LT custom ribbon and a custom panel. I have transferred buttons from my autocad 2006 to my 2012 LT. They work just fine. The probem is that in 2006 I had drop down buttons to save toolbar space. I want to be able to add the drop down button feature to my new panel. I do not see how to create that type of button, so I can add the regular buttons to it and have one drop down button with those commands in it.
I have tried everything even un-installing and re-installing. I have customized programs that have been working properly for months by many individuals. These include custom menus, toolbars and ribbon tabs. One day last week one of the ribbon tabs disappeared. The crazy thing is if I load the .cuix file as an Enterprise cui, everything is visible and works just fine. BUT, when I load it as a partial cuix file the ribbon tab does not show up. The custom menus come in, my custom toolbars work and show up just fine but the dag blasted ribbon tab won't show up.
Yes, it's marked as visible. I've done and redone the cui editor, customized my workspace again and again checking every piece of information. I need to have it loaded as a partial cui file as I am the author of these tools that hundreds of people in my company depend on.
How to add buttons and create my own ribbon in AutoCAD, but now I would like to be able to have buttons for two different schedules that I have created. While I can have a button start the schedule command it won't automatically pick the schedule that I want it to create.
I'm trying to find a way to add a custom button to my ribbon that will launch a global rule or form using VB. I know of a way using VBA but I want to get away from VBA. I'd much rather create an add with VB and use that.
We have autodesk building design suite premium 2014 on the machines at our office and I can't civil view to run on any of the four computers. There is an error message that says: "no civil view country resource kit folders could be found in the following loaction...". I have seen something online that says to find the civilview2014.msi and run it manually. I have tried that and it says that it can't find autode~1.cab. I have searched the pc and cannot find that file anywhere.
I think the software was installed from a flash drive. Would downloading the software and reinstalling it do anything?
I have also installed all updates and service packs for this product.
Looks like something to do with 360 is cause C3D2013 to hang on startup. I have to kill the AcSettingSync.exe service to in Resource Monitor to make 2013 un-freeze.
While using Explorer 9, it is empty. Anyway, I've switched to compatability mode.
I have this issue with 2 installations of Civil3D 2011-64 bit. I have 2 monitors. When first starting up, while Civil3D is loading, if I move to the other monitor and do any activity with the mouse, once civil3D is loaded, it is frozen. I can't do anything with it and need to use Task Manager to close it. If I just leave the mouse alone until Civil3D completely loads, then I'm fine. Just a minor annoyance, but have never experienced it with earlier versions.
I have a Win7 X64 PC running C3D 2103. I recelty installed this for the first time and am seeing the following error message when I launch the application.
I've tried to do a repair and still get the message.
I accidentally closed the ribbon or the tools.. whatever you want to call it that were in the red rectangle in the picture.. How do I get it back to normal?
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?
No command will work from the Ribbon. I've changed workspaces and tried a backup CUI file. Is my system corrupt or is there some setting that displays the ribbon, but disables the commands within it?
I am using Civil3d 2011 and the ribbon will not display. The button seem to work some times but I can't see the ribbon, QAT, or Infocenter. I tried relaoding the CUI files, updated video card drivers, Civil3D patches, even uninstalled and reinstalled Civil3D.
I can turn the ribbon off (ribbonclose) and the ribon area is rendered correctly on the screen. I can turn the menubar on/off and it works just fine.
I tried logging on to the computer as different user, as the administrator, etc. Same error.
I use the Ribbon but now I can't because I can't see it.
