The code shown below reproduces the issue, followed by a video clip.Ĭlass MyRibbon, used for creating a ribbon tab, adding a ribbon panel with a button into the tab: Obviously, the said issue only exists with ribbon created programmatically using Ribbon Runtime API. With the ribbon built with CUIx, whether it is fully expanded or minimized, the execution of the command method is always succeeded as expected. The ribbon item that starts the command method is included in a custom ribbon tab/panel that is specifically designed/developed for our custom CAD add-in applications and is dynamically generated by code using Ribbon Runtime API.Īfter finally being able to reproduce the issue myself, I went ahead to manually created a custom partial CUIx to build the same ribbon tab/panel/item that execute the same command method. This explains why I never ran into the issue, because I often have to set "Fiberworld" to 0 with my AutoCAD in order to do debugging (thus, ribbon in my AutoCAD often does not work), so I am used to enter command at command line to run my command methods. Really strange!).Įventually, one of the users noticed, the command works when the command is started from a fully expanded ribbon item, and stops working if the ribbon is minimized (AutoCAD ribbon has 3 minimized states). And whenever I tried with my development computer, it always works (why shouldn't it? It is just something I have done many times before. Notice the capital "SOMETIMES"? The same user reported the command works sometimes, and then sometimes not. The code the follows after the dialog box being OKed/being cancelled (there are quite some code after the dialog box is closed to be executed) was also not executed and the command method was simply jumped to its end and the "try.catch." block did not catch anything. Pretty standard operation, eh? Yet, users reported that SOMETIMES, after picking, the dialog form flashed back and disappeared immediately. Once the picking is done/cancelled, the dialog form shows back with the picking result (if the picking is not cancelled) displayed. User can also cancels he picking, of course. If user clicks the button, the form hides, then user picks one or more entities in AutoCAD editor. One of my command method, when executed, brings up a modal dialog box.
What the issue is, then? Here is what happens: Instead, I was looked into whether AutoCAD setup is good, whether OS is OK.which led to a few AutoCAD repairs/reinstalls, but nothing worked. And when users reported that some of my commands did not work as expected, I was not able to reproduce what users described. Because of this, the issue I ran into with Ribbon Runtime API went undetected from the tests of a few my projects. NET project with AutoCAD in many, if not all, Visual Studio projects, in the expense of losing ribbon/menu usability. NET programmers know that we need to set "Fiberworld" system variable to 0 in order to debug. NET programmer may also come across, if he/she uses Ribbon Runtime API to create ribbon tab/panel to start his/her command method.ĭue to the infamous "Fiber" technology used in AutoCAD 2010 through AutoCAD 2014, most of us. Click OK to exit the Customize User Interface dialog.I recently ran into an issue with Ribbon Runtime API, which an AutoCAD. In the upper left pane on the Customize tab, right-click on "ACAD" at the very top of the tree and select Reset ACAD.CUI.This will open the Customize User Interface dialog. Delete the "promise" and "ECAD_CAD" profiles. Select the Profiles tab, select the profile, and click Set Current.Copy the acad.CUI file or acad.CUIX file located in that folder to another folder as a backup.
