Customize ribbon / tabs & palettes
In a previous office (running ACAD 2000), running a custimised ACAD.MNC file, we were able to create a custom drop down menu for standardised layers. This drop down menu was a "list" of all layers for the office and when a particular layer was selected, the a script would execute to create the desired layer with all the standard properties (if it was not already created that way).
My question...how can I "translate" this to work with ACAD 2016's Ribbon / tabs & Pallets?
Many thanks, S

Do you really want to conver it to a panel? Or just bring it in? Pulldown menus can be turned on in R2016 too.
Quick fix: CUI command has a TRANSFER tab you can use to open your old MNU/MNS/MNC file, then drag and drop into 2016's "pull-down" menus section. Save and close CUI, then turn on pulldown menus in your workspace (and remember to save your workspace after all of this with WSSAVE command).

In the CUIx system you create command definitions (different than command-line entries). These are much the same as how XREFs are used - one definition, used in multiple places (Ribbon panel, menu drop-down, toolbar, and so on). In the Ribbon you may have a small number of buttons for common layers and a drop-down for less common layers; each individual button calls one function, and each entry in the drop-down also calls one function.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.
