Dialog Edit

ClosedDialog call:

You have right-clicked the ribbon and selected the Customize ribbon command.

  • You have selected an action in the Customize dialog in the drop-down list Select commands for the "Actions" category and want to assign it to a user-defined command group in the Main tabs field by means of the button.
  • You have marked a command in a user-defined command group, a command group or a tab in the Customize dialog in the Main tabs field and clicked the [Edit] button.

In this dialog you can change the name for a command group or a tab with which the respective element is displayed in the ribbon. For a command or an action you can also carry out further settings such as the image displayed in the ribbon.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Image:

Only available for one action or command. In this field you select an image which shall be assigned to the action or the command in the ribbon.

You also have the possibility here to use own image files. To do this use the button to open a dialog where you can select and import the desired image file. Only svg graphics can be used.

  • The recommended image size is 64x64 pixel.
  • The svg file must contain a vector graphic. An embedded image file is not displayed.
  • To ensure performance the svg file should be as small as possible. In the case of converted files we therefore recommend removing the embedded image part.

Displayed name:

Here you enter the name below which the action, the command, the command group or the tab in the ribbon is displayed. Multilingual input is not possible.

Command line:

Only available for one action. The actions are controlled by a command row. This field displays an example entry for a selected Action. Adjust this to your needs. A question mark "?" in the command line stands for a replaceable placeholder.

ClosedExample:

Text in the command line for the action "insert symbol":
XEGActionInsertSymRef /SymbolLibName:? /SymbolId:? /VariantId:0

You have opened a project page. When you click the corresponding command, the Symbol selection dialog is opened.

The placeholder "?" in the command line is replaced by concrete values:
XEGActionInsertSymRef /SymbolLibName:IEC_Symbol /SymbolId:30 /VariantId:0

With one click on the command, the "Terminal" symbol from the IEC_Symbol symbol library is attached to the mouse. You can place it directly into the page now.

Tooltip:

Only available for one action. Here you enter a text which is displayed in the Tooltip as the header.

Description:

Only available for one action. Here you enter an additional text which is shown as the second line in the Tooltip.
