How to place plug-ins in custom Ribbon tab?
« on: March 04, 2015, 02:36:33 AM »
Hello,

Instead of bundles automatically being placed in the Plug-ins ribbon tab, is it possible to place these in a custom tab? I wish to split my bundles with a number of cui files into a logical named ribbon tab(s).

Using AutoCAD 2014.

Many thanks in advance, Robbo.

Are you talking from the developer stand point or end user? As an end user, simply copy the ribbon panel from the developer CUIx file to your own custom CUIx and re-name the panel Custom.

No need to copy anything.  Just load the CUIx as partial.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.

   finally

Can you have two CUIx files placing things on Ribbon Panel "Custom"? or do they need to be unique?

ChrisCarlson, as an end user. The CUIx files are loaded as partial automatically from the .bundle. The first thing I tried was to copy the panels to my custom tab, but icons etc did not always show. Perhaps I need to created my own custom CUIx in the same directory as the .bundle files and copy the panels.

Cheers, Robbo.
