In AutoCAD LT 2013, the Modify box on the ribbon, I regularly use about four buttons in the main box on the ribbon and I use only the Lengthen button in the drop down box. Is there a way to trade the Lengthen button in the drop down box for one of the seldom used buttons in the main box on the ribbon?
View 3 Repliessomehow i have changed how the ribbon buttons are displayed. instead of being expanded and showing all the commands on the button, it only shows the button tittle. one of then shows "DRAW" . when i click on it, it shows all the sub commands. how do i get it to expand and show all the subcommands without clicking on it. it was showing them before, however, i changed a setting and cannot find it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'd like to make it so that a user may add a button for my addin by only having to modify an xml entry.
None of the values (name, descrip, tooltip) are null, and reading from the xml is working properly. Each internal name is unique. Why this code would result in an error? The error message is attached.
If there's a known way to dynamically add buttons(in a loop), I'd be happy to use an established method as well.
Element[] QueryArray = query.ToArray();foreach (XElement item in QueryArray){string name = item.Attribute("Name").Value;string descrip = item.Attribute("Description").Value;string tooltip = item.Attribute("Tooltip").Value;tempButton = null;tempButton = oControlDefinitions.AddButtonDefinition(name, name, CommandTypesEnum.kEditMaskCmdType, m_AddinClientID, descrip, tooltip, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);oStandardsLinks.CommandControls.AddButton(tempButton);}

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe want to deliver a language independend CUIX-File and translate the UI at runtime after loading the CUIX like this:
foreach (RibbonTab tab in ComponentManager.Ribbon.Tabs)
{
foreach (RibbonPanel panel in tab.Panels)
{
foreach (RibbonItem item in panel.Source.Items)
{
TransRibbonItem(item);
}
}
}
TransRibbonItem(item)should translate the Item text displayed in the UI as well as the tooltip text.
I found a good way to translate RibbonItem texts. But the only solution I found to translate tooltips is the approach that Kean Walmsley posted in his blog here and here.
This solution has some drawbacks: It uses Autodesk.Internal.Windows.ToolTip, which Kean rates as "risky". It can not be used in my TransRibbonItem(item) function because it uses an ToolTipOpened event-handler that modifies a tooltip just when it is created.I found that this mechanism does not work very well in AutoCAD 2014: When a tooltip is created the first time, the handler is called before it is completely initialized. The posted solution reloads the tooltip in this case - which leads to a delay and display flash.
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI’ve installed Revit 2014, but mainly using 2013. When I installed 2014, the button on the 2013 ribbon started acting funny.
When I select an element, a wall for instance, I don’t get the proper buttons under the MODIFY tab showing up. I have to hit the show/hide button on the drop-down menu that controls the visibility of the ribbon & buttons to get the EDIT PROFILE button.
And it doesn't end there; when I get into EDIT PROFILE mode, the proper buttons are not showing up again. Again, I have to do a show/hide with the drop down menu, and then the proper buttons show up and I can edit the wall.
If I then select another element, such as a roof, I have to go through the same two-extra-step process to edit the roof.
I just re-installed 2013 yesterday because I’ve been having issues with 2013 crashing on a daily basis, and then not opening at all. Yet the same problem still happens. I un-installed 2014, and the problem still happens. After I un-installed 2014, I did a repair on 2013, and the problem still persists.
I spoke to my Tech Support, CAD-1, this morning and they told me it’s possibly an issue with 2014 over writing some .NETFRAMEWORK files for 2013 (or something like that). They saw the problem on my system but couldn’t resolve the issue.
I’ve called Autodesk Tech Support, and of course the made a ticket and “will get back to me.” (I’ve not had much luck w/ Autodesk Tech Support in the past, and have a bad taste in my mouth because of 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.
I've got several assemblys built for a road project. the problem is whenever i modify an assembly by adding a subassemby, some of the existing subassemblies move. they stay attached to the assembly but they disconnect from the part they were attached to. i can move them back so the assembly looks correct but when i rebuild the corridor chances are they show up wrong. i've tried 'move to' and just grabbing and snapping. i can eventually get it attached but not without trial and error. i'm running c3d2012.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a titleblock with a table for the BOM. When I select the block I want to enter text into, the block has a yellow box around it and the table editor pops up. I can click the arrow keys up and the highlighted section goes to the cell above the one it was just on. Down moves it down, Right moves it right, and left moves it left. The problem is when I double click the box to edit the information in the cell. when I double click the box and enter information, I typically am able to push the up key to get to the cell above it. NOW when I push the up key, it goes to the cell to the left. When I push the down key, it goes to the cell to the right.
I am positive that the is either a function or a button or a property that needs to be changed.

There will be 3 buttons. One for .XX, one .XXX, one .XXXX precision edit of an existing dimension. IOW, if I have a 2 place precision dimension and wish it to be 4 place, I'll click the '.XXXX button' then click the dimension and it will change to 4 place.
