How to modify ribbon button text to be multiple lines and how to adjust justification of buttons.

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to have multiple lines of text on a button within a Custom ribbon panel (panel.png attachment. There are many AutoCAD native buttons that show this scenario (see customize panel.png attachment). Any knowledge on this would be appreciated.

I have also noticed that all buttons justify left, is there any way to change this behavior?

Thank you for your help.

That dropdown just changes if/where it shows the text.

Is there a reason you are not able to go to the example you wish to emulate in CUI command to see how it is done? Or is it just that you don't quite understand the three stacked commands are in a sub-panel in three separate rows with icons set to text on the side and that is what you need to do to replicate for your items?

Here is one of many online tutorials to get you started if you wish to dive in

Google editing the ribbon via CUI there are some good youtubes out there it is not hard but 1st go a bit daunting. Unfortunately when they made the ribbon threw away the old fashioned text menu's method for menu's and toolbars.

For me can do as a toolbar or a menu just a simple text file. Easy to edit v's CUI.

Not sure what you mean. Large icons with labels placed bellow are horizontally centred to label.

Also can have this style. Large icons in two rows, with hor labels
