Hello,

is this this possible?

I have a lot of tools with separate installers. But the ribbon-panales merge in one ribbon-tab.

Hi,

you got a lot of tools? ... from different vendors or from one vendor?

or you have some tools to distribute and need a solution for how such an installer should work?

Hello alfred,

its round 6 tools with her own cui and installer.

Regardless of the panels will be installed all in the same tab.

it works, if you create a ribbon tab manually with the equal alias in the main-cuix.

Now...  How can i create a ribbon tab in the main-cuix with .net ?

here ist the "main-ribbontab-solution" in c#

        public static Boolean createMainRibbonTab(String tabName, String tabTitle, String tabId, IList<String> workspaces)
        {
            Boolean result = false;
            String mainCuixName = Application.GetSystemVariable("MENUNAME") + ".cuix";
            Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization.CustomizationSection maincuix = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization.CustomizationSection(mainCuixName, false);
            Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization.RibbonRoot acRibbonRoot = maincuix.MenuGroup.RibbonRoot;

            Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization.RibbonTabSource acRibbonTabSource = acRibbonRoot.FindTabWithAlias(tabName.ToUpper());

            if (acRibbonTabSource == null)
            {
                try
                {
                    acRibbonTabSource = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization.RibbonTabSource(acRibbonRoot);
                    acRibbonTabSource.Name = tabName;
                    acRibbonTabSource.Id = tabId;
                    acRibbonTabSource.Aliases.Add(tabName.ToUpper());
                    acRibbonTabSource.Text = tabTitle;
                    acRibbonRoot.RibbonTabSources.Add(acRibbonTabSource);

                    if (workspaces == null)
                    {

                    }
                    maincuix.Save();
                    result = true;
