Hi

 

Does anyone have any guidance on how best to take icons from the tool palettes into the ribbon menu ?

 

I am currently going through the laborious process of moving my company tool palette commands into ribbon format..... it would be great to find a quick way to grab our custom icons from the palette and use them in the ribbon.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Can you give us an example of the type of tool palette command you want to move to the Ribbon?

Hey Remark

 

I have managed to move the commands etc without any problems ....it's the icons that are the problem

The file format for each icon is not the same as the palettes, I think the palettes accept icons in jpg and png format

but the ribbon only accepts bitmaps ?

That could be the case. You could check your AutoCAD Customization Guide for that information.

When dragging a command into a ribbon panel or tab, does it not transfer the icon with it? I think that when we set up our toolbars/menus, we used bmp's right off the bat, so I never experienced any issues when creating our ribbons. I just wish the background color of a button would blend in a little better with the autocad interface. It would make some of my tools look so much better. (almost like they actually belong in the program)

Thanks CCowgill .... I suppose we'll all have to ensure we use bitmaps from now on.

It's a bit of pain when you have an extensive library of tool palettes to move into the ribbons.

 

Thanks again

Is there no (vlax-get-or-create-object "MSPaint.Application") object that can be used to automatically go through your icon directories, and for each non-BMP file found, open with the above object, and saved-as .BMP...? :unsure:

 

(The code above does not produce an object, hence the question)
