    <description>&lt;P&gt;Another thing that might help is to add distinctive icons for your ilogic buttons and turn off the text.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;To create a custom icon for your iLogic Ribbon button:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Create a *.png file that is 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Place this image file in the same folder that the Rule resides in&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Format the name to be as such:
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&amp;lt;Name of the iLogic Rule or Form&amp;gt; . &amp;lt;light or dark&amp;gt; . &amp;lt;small or large&amp;gt; .png&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;Example:&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;iLogic rule name:&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Create PDF&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;iLogic rule button image name:&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Create PDF.light.small.png&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Restart Inventor if needed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;90% of the time when I select annotation tab I want to start dimensioning.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;is there a way through ilogic with a trigger maybe to activate dimension when selecting the tab?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;this would be equivalent to using the shortcut D.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="romu51_1-1687182196794.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1229709i823743E919921978/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="romu51_1-1687182196794.png" alt="romu51_1-1687182196794.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/111462"&gt;@romu51&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I don't think that would be possible with iLogic ( you could likely do it by writing a small add-in, but that seems like overkill).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You could right click on the Dimension button and choose "Add to Quick Access Toolbar" and then just use the Dimension tool from there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You could also add the Dimension button the Place Views tab on the User Command panel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;( Tools tab &amp;gt; Customize button )&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Curtis_Waguespack_0-1687189724905.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1229763i7561BC27BA722066/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Curtis_Waguespack_0-1687189724905.png" alt="Curtis_Waguespack_0-1687189724905.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope this helps.&lt;BR /&gt;Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,&lt;BR /&gt;Curtis&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="http://inventortrenches.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;http://inventortrenches.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the reply.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was afraid that would be the case. just wanted to reduce my clickings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm comfortable with customising the ribbon and I'll give it a go.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;it's just starting to get crowded with the ilogic buttons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="romu51_2-1687243397656.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1230011iB013A6C8E65C18CF/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="romu51_2-1687243397656.png" alt="romu51_2-1687243397656.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/111462"&gt;@romu51&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You might check out&amp;nbsp;JelteDeJong's&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Button Constructor&lt;/STRONG&gt; app:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://apps.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/en/Detail/Index?id=2268703737300536294&amp;amp;appLang=en&amp;amp;os=Win64" target="_blank"&gt;https://apps.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/en/Detail/Index?id=2268703737300536294&amp;amp;appLang=en&amp;amp;os=Win64&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With it you can create you own custom ribbon tab.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Good point...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'll certainly look into it, it's not much different than the ones i did for a couple of other macros I have.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Pictures will need to be meaningful as I intend to share this with other users in the office.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
