    <description>&lt;P&gt;I read about this in some what's new PDF that I believe was sent to the members of the feedback community. Other than that I haven't been able to find anything about it on the Inventor help.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Great feature.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are you able to apply a custom icon to the rules? They don't seem to copy the icon from the list.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Good question Ben.&amp;nbsp; It doesn't look like there's anything other than the default scroll/script icon.&amp;nbsp; I hope someone here has a better solution.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I use the "Button Constructor" app' - see&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://clintbrown.co.uk/2020/11/28/run-ilogic-rules-from-the-ribbon/" target="_blank"&gt;https://clintbrown.co.uk/2020/11/28/run-ilogic-rules-from-the-ribbon/&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;- which works a treat in Inventor 2022.&amp;nbsp; Haven't tried it in 2023 yet.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I believe you can customize the icon by placing png images in the same folder as your external rule or global form. Try this out.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For a rule named "RuleX":&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;RuleX.light.small.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;RuleX.light.large.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;RuleX.dark.small.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;RuleX.dark.large.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;For a form named "FormX":&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;FormX.light.small.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;FormX.light.large.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;FormX.dark.small.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;FormX.dark.large.png&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;For the small/large I believe they should be either 16x16 and 32x32, but I'm not 100% sure about that.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Hi, to add a button to the ribbon:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Right click a ribbon Customize User Commands&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Filter rules/forms in the drop down&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Ensure the correct tab is listed&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Double click a rule to add&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Add text or make large&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;To create a custom icon use:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;png format&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;16x16px or 32x32px&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Must be put in the same folder as the Rule is stored&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;File name:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;lt;Form or rule name&amp;gt; . &amp;lt;Light or dark&amp;gt; . &amp;lt;Small or large&amp;gt; .png&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Example: “Push Parameters.light.large.png”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If it doesn't update immediately, restart Inventor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I believe the PDF you are talking about is the one I created.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've just had a look now and I don't know if there is a help file anywhere describing how to do this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;To add on to this, for users of dark mode:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From my testing it appears that Inventor will turn any pure white (255, 255, 255) pixels to transparent. If this is blanking out intended white areas of your icon, edit them to use just slightly off white (254, 254, 254) and those pixel will appear white / will not be made transparent by Inventor.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just dropping a link in here to one of my recent forum responses under another topic that I think will be helpful for some folks that have found this topic.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-programming-ilogic/save-thumbnail-as-image-file/m-p/13014204/highlight/true#M171652" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-programming-ilogic/save-thumbnail-as-image-file/m-p/13014204/highlight/true#M171652&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It has a text file attachment, and within that text file is code for an iLogic rule that can be used to capture both the large and small (or standard) icons of existing buttons that are currently defined within Inventor, and saves them out as png files.&amp;nbsp; Those files are already the correct sizes, correct file types, and have the correct file names for use as button icons that can be used for ButtonDefinitions for other iLogic rules.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But for convenience, I will attach that file here also.&amp;nbsp; But within that other (linked to) conversation are some interesting, and maybe useful alternative codes (and Links) showing how to get other native Inventor images (IPictureDisp) to external files.&amp;nbsp; There have been multiple variations of codes for these types of purposes floating around for years, but many of the older ones are getting very outdated, and may not even work anymore.&amp;nbsp; There are apparently multiple internal variations of these IPictureDisp image data types that Inventor uses internally for various purposes.&amp;nbsp; One variation is used for the &lt;A href="https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2025/ENU/?guid=Document_Thumbnail" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Document.Thumbnail&lt;/A&gt; (which is an IPictureDisp), and another variation is used for the button icons (&lt;A href="https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2025/ENU/?guid=ButtonDefinition_LargeIcon" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;ButtonDefinition.LargeIcon&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; &lt;A href="https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2025/ENU/?guid=ButtonDefinition_StandardIcon" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;ButtonDefinition.StandardIcon&lt;/A&gt;).&amp;nbsp; These two different variations, one designed for Bitmap use, the other for Icon use, require slightly different processes to convert before saving as an external png file.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There is a similar code within that other conversation for saving the document thumbnail images out too, if interested.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
