Function Syntax: AddRibbonButton / ARB_Debug / ARB_ApplyToCUI Version: 1 Date:04.04.2026 WEB Function Syntax: AddRibbonButton Version: 8.5 🚀 AddRibbonButton is an AutoCAD and Civil 3D ribbon customization utility for creating, queueing, inserting, deleting, and debugging custom ribbon buttons inside CIVIL.cuix. The main benefit is faster CAD menu administration, cleaner ribbon organization, easier help-system linking, and repeatable CUIX button deployment. Main Command 🧰 Run AddRibbonButton in the AutoCAD command line to open the Add Ribbon Button dialog. Support commands include ARB_Debug, ARB_ApplyToCUI, and ARB_ApplyDebug. SEO Optimized Description 📘 This AutoLISP tool scans CIVIL.cuix, reads ribbon panel data from the CUIX XML files, and displays custom @Dan_ribbon_* panels in a visual DCL interface. 🔍 Users can select a ribbon panel, group, folded panel, sub-group, and reference command before inserting a new button above or below the selected command. 🧠 The utility is useful for CAD managers, AutoCAD support teams, Civil 3D production environments, custom toolbar maintainers, and help-system authors. 📌 AddRibbonButton improves ribbon automation by combining CUIX editing, command macro creation, image assignment, XAML help linking, and batch queueing in one workflow. Functionalities 🚀 Create ribbon buttons - adds new AutoCAD ribbon command buttons to selected custom panels. 📂 Read CUIX structure - scans RibbonRoot.cui and MenuGroup.cui after extracting CIVIL.cuix. 🧩 Queue multiple buttons - stores several button definitions and applies them together with the Add All workflow. 🔄 Control insertion position - inserts buttons above or below an existing reference command. 🖼️ Assign button images - supports common image files such as PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIF, and BMP. 📘 Connect XAML help - links ribbon buttons to external help tooltips using .xaml:Key references. 🔍 Auto-complete paths - detects image files in a folder and reads available XAML keys from a selected help file. 🏷️ Store metadata - writes macro text, command display name, group name, description, tags, key tip, tooltip title, and button style. 🧹 Delete selected command - removes an existing ribbon command button from the selected location. 📝 Debug patch results - saves log files and exposes diagnostic commands for troubleshooting queued updates. Practical Result ✅ The final result is a faster AutoCAD ribbon customization workflow for CUIX editing, CAD production menus, custom button deployment, and Civil 3D help integration. This SEO-friendly description highlights the value of AddRibbonButton for AutoCAD ribbon automation, Civil 3D CUIX management, command button creation, CAD menu deployment, and XAML help linking. Important Note This tool directly modifies CIVIL.cuix by extracting, editing, and repacking CUIX XML content. Back up the CUIX file before use. The uploaded version is tailored to @Dan_ribbon_* panels and hard-coded Help_File paths, so other environments may require path adjustment.
