Loading an updated ribbon tab

[jesset]

Hey all,

 

So how I manage rolling out new lisps or blocks to the org is to have a ribbon tab with buttons for each command/block. 

 

One thing I'd like to be able to do is add an update button so that whenever there's a new update to the ribbon tab, it would remove the previous iteration and load the new one with the new stuff (I'd set this up every time, but that would be easier than going to each person and resetting up their ACAD).

 

I am trying to figure out how to do this with lisp (really, the only language I know for CAD customization right now). I found a previous thread about it but I am having issues figuring out how to make it work for me. 

 

SS1 shows how the current ribbon tab is setup and SS2 is how it shows up when I do something similar to the code I used in the thread I found previously.

 

Any and all insights into "menucmd" and how to do this is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

JT

Try menuload you can unload then reload.

We use a 'working' profile and a 'CUSTOM TOOLS EDIT' profile.

In the working profile we got the Ribbon loaded.

In the 'custom tools edit' i can customize it.

 

The CUIX file is saved on a network location.

When i edit the CUIX, it gets updated for all our workers that work with the 'working' profile.

 

Soo..

- We got a custom desktop icon, that loads a preset PROFILE

- We got a custom profile, where everything is pre-set with the ribbon etc.

- All workers start AutoCAD with that desktop icon, so they always have the latest settings.

- All workers got a custom acaddoc.LSP in there SUPPORT folder, wich loads all our custom lisps.

- That acadoc.LSP is auto-set to all our workings computers with some pushing ICT software.

We did the same all our cuix are on server so if I updated next time user started Autocad it was loaded. Added a routine they then just had it.
