Changing opacity of autocad ribbon buttons when disabled.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I want to change the opacity of Autocad 2015 & 2016 ribbon buttons when disabled.

Currently in my add-in when the buttons are disabled they have the opacity of 0.4 by default.

I need to change it so those disabled buttons will be more visible.

Right now am creating RibbonButton's and adding to the RibbonPanel and then adding to the Ribbon Menu's in the code behind.

Kindly direct me a way to be able to achieve this either though xaml style changes or using code behind.

Regards,

Hemaraju

Issue:When clicking on the Autodesk A360 ribbon tab (such as in AutoCAD), all the options are grayed out and disabled.

Causes:Chances are the program was installed using a suite installer and Autodesk A360 was deselected within its installation options, but it was enabled for at least one other application in the suite. This causes Autodesk A360 to install but only work in the applications it was enabled for.

Solution:Modify the installation for the parent application to add Autodesk A360. For instance, using AutoCAD Architecture 2014 as an example:

1. Close AutoCAD Architecture 2014.
2. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
3. Double-click Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2014 - English and select Add or Remove Features in the window that opens up.
4. Click Next on the window to see the features list
5. Put a check mark next to Autodesk A360 for AutoCAD and then click Update.

It may also be necessary to uninstall and reinstall Autodesk A360 itself. To uninstall, double-click it in Programs and Features and then to reinstall, run the AdSync.msi install file. This is located within your program's installation folder in C:\Autodesk under \x64\Components\Cloudsync. For example:

C:\Autodesk\AutoCAD_Architecture_2014_English_Win_64bit_dlm\x64\Components\Cloudsync\AdSync.msi

Note: C:\Autodesk is the default folder that Autodesk software downloads extract to before installing.
