Dimension Style Dropdown Menu

[Anonymous]

Using, AutoCAD Mechanical 2016, previously set up by whoever was here before me, so I'm not sure if this dropdown comes with it out of the box like LT or not. Regardless, I'm trying to add it to my Home>Annotation panel but can't figure it out, and don't have the existing one to just copy.

I haven't been able to find anything regarding adding this to the ribbon, since it's already there for pretty much everyone else.

It is the "Ribbon Gallery Box - Dimension Style" as a Ribbon Control Element in the CUI. I believe it was introduced with 2015 so you should have access to it.

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem and you are correct, it is called the "Ribbon Gallery Box - Dimension Style" but how do you access it? It is not in the list of commands and I see no separate tab for Ribbon Control Elements.

Same here. Trying to add the drop down menu and can't figure out how to.

@aoe2exp123456 Not everything in the CUI is user accessible, this is one of a few other pulldowns also labelled "Ribbon Gallery Box".

But... There is a DIMENSIONS toolbar that has an old style pulldown that also lists in he Command List and can be added anywhere you want.

HTH

@pendean Thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately, the Dimension tool bars do not have the pull down in ACAD MECH 2018.

Darn it.

You are in the wrong forum then, lets see if we can correctly move this entire post over there this time around so it does not happen again.

Same issue Autocad mechanical does not have Ribbon Gallery Box - Dimension Style drops down. Very frustrating!!!
  that is the reason why I hate taking updates.
