Custom ribbon named seperators?

Hello

 

I am working on a custom quick acces toolbar in Creo Elements version 20.1.2.0

I am making 1 tab that contains all the functions i need on a regular basis. And one that relocates my most used functions to the foreground. I wanted to create named seperators like the standard menu does. But I can only find the boring old line seperator.

 

Is there any way to give my custom split menu a nice looking format like standard? Or is that something that is reserved for the base program?

If anyone knows how to do this. I would love to know it. Its not completely neccesary, but it would be a nice clean look to a layout that may be used as a standard within the company.

 

Thanks in advance!

Welcome! 

 

I believe you should be able to get what you want by including only a ":label" component in your :contents list. For example (simplified):

 

:contents

'((:label "item1" :availCmd ("SolidDesigner" "MyApp" "MyFunc1")

  (:label "Separator 1")

  (:label "item2" :availCmd ("SolidDesigner" "MyApp" "MyFunc2")

)

 

Does that work for you? Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks!

    Hello Andy!

     

    I'm based in the Netherlands. So it's almost bedtime for me. But I was wondering about your syntax. Because I customized my ribbon through the Creo Direct customization interface. And I have not yet tried to find the file in which this customization is stored. 

     

    But is this just a txt or config file I can add your suggested lines to? If so, I can try that tommorow. I'll let you know if it worked.

     

    Thanks for the reply 👍

    Not sure about that -- I was thinking you were creating your own menu option using code...  I'll investigate a bit and get back to you...
