Right click above tab category, then choose new tab from context menu. Again, if you just want to add that panel to existing tab, you don’t have to create a new tab. But where the panel should be? Is it at home tab? annotation tab? We also need to define this.īecause we want to place all of our custom command to a separate tab, we need to create a new ribbon tab. Now AutoCAD knows on which panel the command should appear. How can I add my command to this panel? By drag it from command list and drop it under the panel. Now we have a panel, but it’s still empty. Right click above the panels category and choose new panel from contextual menu. Remember, we are working on a new customization file. You will see panels category there, but there is no panel defined yet. Remember: If you decide to add this command to existing panel, you don’t need to create a new one. So now we must create a ribbon panel for our command. Where do you can find a command? In a ribbon panel. You may try to place it on menu or toolbar later, but this time just ribbon. For this exercise, let’s work with ribbon. We’re still working on our custom CUI file. AutoCAD doesn’t know where you want to place it. You can define it to execute macro like we did above, or run an AutoLISP program.īut you haven’t place it to a toolbar, menu or ribbon panel. Read it, you may find some custom tools that you want.īut remember, if it’s already a default AutoCAD command, you can just use it. In Paul’s article, you can find very useful custom tools. You may create as many tools as you want. You can create 32×32 pixel image for large icon and 16×16 pixel for small icon.
It means the command is defined in that file. Now you should see a command is listed here. In command list area, click create a new command. So I guess this is a good exercise.įirst, we need to create a command. There are few default AutoCAD command, but we also need to create the commands. Let’s try to create a ribbon panel version of Paul Munford’s killer macro. The command list is still empty, and there is no toolbar, menu or ribbon defined yet. I named it CAD-NOTES, but you may use your own name. If you miss the first step, you can check it in this first tutorial. In your CUI dialog, select your custom CUI you created before. We will define in which workspace the panel should appear.We will create a panel and a ribbon tab.Later, we will combine them with existing AutoCAD command to our panel. So create it first before you follow this tutorial. Sources: Press materials received from the company.In previous tutorial, we explore the CUI dialog interface and create our own customization file. When you rename or delete an Xref layer in the Xref drawing, it is automatically renamed/deleted when you reload it in the host drawings.
To make it easy to see which Xref layers have overrides, a new Xref Overrides layer filter is automatically created as soon as overrides are applied. Specify a Default Layer for Your XrefsĪ new XREFLAYER system variable lets you specify a default layer on which new Xrefs are inserted, so you don’t have to change the Xref’s layer after every insert. This is a faster way to create a view in paper space and saves you from having to adjust the view by zooming in and out. The new View Gallery allows you to insert a named view from the toolbar.
The NEWVIEW command creates a named view from what’s displayed in the current viewport, or from a rectangular window you define. With the new views and viewports feature, create views while designing, then quickly insert any of the saved views in a layout. With this new enhancement, preview exactly how your layout will appear post-plot and select desired settings to make changes in real time. The new plot preview area makes plotting more efficient. There are improvements to the user interface layout of the Plot dialog, moving the more frequently used options to the top for easy access.
