Yes, I could try this as a standalone CUI menu with only a name and put the code in as the display text of the ribbon TAB, but that also does not evaluate. I also tried the same code as a substitution for an Icon, in the ribbon tool, a toolbar and a tool palette tool, but it doesn't evaluate, it just produces no image at all. adding the code to Description did not help either. But it is a no-worky when it comes to displaying on screen as a menu name. What's interesting though, is that the same code will evaluate in the Customizations Pane of the CUI editor, just like the pull down menu evaluates in the same pane and on screen when dropping down is selected. The result is the same for "Name" and "Display Text"Īnd when I try to rename the pull-down menu itself as code, no evaluation either, but the menu within it still works when you select it. No, when I try to put the name of the ribbon panel in as code, all it does is treat the code as text. Some nice thinking outside the box there, scot. Oh, and BTW John, you've been drinking too much wine again - those are salad dressings, not functions! You've certainly gotten me a lot farther than I thought I'd get on this idea.
If I could find a way, I'd like that ribbon tool to update, but if it isn't exposed to our tinkering, then I'll have to accept that.

The pull-down menu (MENUBAR) does update continuously with exactly the same code, as does the MODEMACRO status bar element. Apparently there is some way, because selecting various AutoCAD commands forces various ribbon changes. It looks exactly what I want but alas, I am not able to get the ribbon tool to update to the current value of USER1 without going back into the CUI editor, so the setvar value does get updated, but the ribbon doesn't like live updating apparently - unless there is some way to force it to do so.
Whenever you place a \n into CUI names they show up in the editor when you type them in, but once you save the changes, the \n disappears from the editor but the newline actuaction does take place - so you don't see my \n in the picture above, but it is there. In the actual text of that code I placed a \n after the colon and used that for the Name of my Ribbon tool and here's what displays: But what I found worked for me best was the following.
I saw that I could enter text first, then follow with $calls to code without codifying the text with a string command of any kind. Once I opened up the Customization Guide I was given enough examples of usage that I began to see some mistakes in my previous attempts.įirst off, the examples put a space after commas, so I started doing so also. I eventually figured out that my troubles were that I had forgotten most of what I knew about DIESEL. net has ways of doing this, but we are restricted to lisp methods since many users are outside the organization and using AutoCAD 2010 and anything newer. I'd like it to be a real-time editable button to always be in the user's interface to display the current value of my elevation variable and even change it on the fly. It would work just like the current layer or current dimstyle or current color control toolbar object. What I want to do is find a way to have a button in a toolbar, tool palette or ribbon panel that could display the current value of this elevation variable. I already have a system to read the blocks in the drawing and collect their properties and set the new block properly to go with it. I am placing dynamic blocks which will have attributes and properties that adopt the current value of this "elevation" variable and calculate through lisp programs during insertion, what size support dynamic blocks will need to have their height range settings set to in order to hold our equipment at the right level. I am setting up a system of controlling a faux elevation property - one that only holds the value as a (real) variable (not actually using the AutoCAD elevation property due to users - some outside of our organization - experience level with 3D concepts).

Hi everyone, I felt like I needed to proceed with this post even though I didn't research it much - because I'm not really sure how to describe it so here we go!
