Change properties of ribbon button

For some reason the properties of AecWallAdd when selected from the ribbon have been changed.  We have a couple of cleanup groups that we use, Standard and New Walls.  For some reason only the button on the ribbon starts with the New Walls group which is a real pain as I'd like it to start with Standard every time.  Anyone know how to change it back to standard?

 

Many thanks

 

Ben

You could reset your CUI or edit yourself. The command name is "add wall".  On my cui, it just executes ^c^cwalladd.  This doesn't set the wall cleanup group.  In fact, the ribbon should generally have no capacity to set the cleanup group as it isn't a feature of the wall command.

 

Tool palettes can be adjusted to establish a cleanup group on each tool.

At some point, you must have run the WALLADD command, and then chose the New Walls cleanup group on the Properties Palette and drew a Wall.  That made New Walls the default cleanup group for the next use of the WALLADD command,  unless you use a Wall Tool that has a different wall cleanup group specified in its properties.  Note that using a Wall tool with a value set for the cleanup group does not reset the default value.

 

To reset the default to Standard, run the WALLADD command and, on the Properties palette, on the Design tab, change the Cleanup group definition property to Standard and draw a Wall.  Standard will now be the default for future uses of the WALLADD command, until the next time you run WALLADD and then set a different value for the Cleanup group definition property.
