AutoCad :: MEP 2012 - Ribbon Looks Different?
Sep 13, 2012
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.

I just installed autocad 2012 and I don't know why this happened after I opened it. I've already tried reinstalling it but it's still the same.

new Array command in 2012...
On a clean install without importing the users settings, the ribbon changes to to the array menu when the command is selected but if we import settings from a previous release it doesnt work.
All the other contextual menus like text editor and hatch menus work fine, seems to be just Array (I guess because its the only new one?)
Is there a way to get it working? I checked CUI and it appears under both Tabs and contextual Tab States, the settings seem the same as the others that are working?

The ribbon layout has changed by itself so that it now displays smaller icons and I have to click on drop down arrows to access sub menus - I had it correct displaying the icons with the sub menus next to them but it seems to have changed.
I have worked through ALL the options available in the ribbons appearance etc. and this doesn't change them.

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 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?

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.

I 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 new to AutoCAD and am trying to self teach myself using the autocad bible as a reference. I am on chapter 3 and was following the suggestions for moving the ribbon by undocking it. Great, but now I can't get it back to the top where it started. It moves left and right just fine. I tried undo 100, no luck. I tried restarting my computer but it has now transfered to all of my practice drawings as well, all have the ribbon on the side.

Is there a way to orientate the ribbon horizontally so that I can have it along the top of my second monitor? It seems that while undocked it only goes vertically.

when 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.

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 turned on my AutoCAD LT 2011 this morning at work, and I didn't have any panels or tabs on the top ribbon. After searching for a way to turn them on, I found a way to remove the ribbon completely and am unable to get it back. How can I get my ribbon with tabs and panels back on the top of the screen?

I am trying to create a ribbon of my own, and the code and execution is fine, but I am not able to put the images.
my images are not more than 1 kb in size and are stored in the resources.resources1.... how do I get them to display.
I am trying to work with the available code found in one of the training sessions,
'Code starts
'on one of my subs I am calling this function
'ribBtn.LargeImage = LoadImage("FR.png")
Private Shared Function LoadImage(ByRef ImageName As String) As Imaging.BitmapImage
Dim bi As New System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage()
bi.BeginInit()
bi.StreamSource = GetEmbeddedResourceStream("MyRibbon_Autocad." & ImageName)
bi.EndInit() ' When i debug the code, the code is exiting at this point, i am assuming it is not getting initialised.
Return bi
End Function
Protected Shared Function GetEmbeddedResourceStream(ByVal ResourceName As String) As Stream
Return System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(ResourceName)
End Function
I dont see any error, but the ribbon is getting generated but withut any images, just a plane ribbon.

How the actual file location of a drawing can be shown on the ribbon insert of just the file names. For example, file name BOM.dwg is located in C:custom---. Currently, the tool bar is showing AutoCAD BOM. dwg but I want it to show AutoCAD C:custom---.

this 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 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.
I'm trying to get used to the Ribbon and wanted to find it there, but after several minutes wasted looking all over the Ribbon, I never found it. The Help showed the ICON of 2 parallel diagonal lines but I can't find it anywhere.
