[ngdnam88]

Dears,

Happy New Year! to Everyone...

I'm trying to add a dynamic button in Quick Access Button as this Design Doctor Button. So when I open an item (Part/Assembly/Drawing) It'll checking something and return the result by visible/highlight button icon.

I mean it'll working:
1. After opened an item (part/assembly/drawing...) button icon show a warning and show this icon

2. If everything are fixed/nothing wrong it'll show this icon
 

Please help me the guide how to do that. Thank you very much!

I can help you writing an add in...

You need to change the icon to achieve this.

Let me know if an add in is ok.

[ngdnam88]

Great!
I’m trying done it with my Add-in. Please, guide to me how to do it.
Thanks,

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Could you send me the two different icons either per private message or via this forum?

And also the conditions for each icon. 

[bradeneuropeArthur]

I think you need something similar to this.

The button Green will get Red if the file is Dirtied and need a save.

The button Red will get Green again after save of the file.

Please watch the movie....

This looks pretty awesome. How did you program that?

[ngdnam88]

Yes, I'm finding something like it, that can change button icon dynamic.
Thanks!

[ngdnam88]

I can't send files direct from private message,

Could you try with any icon that you have?
Thanks,

[bradeneuropeArthur]

sure take a look at the MP4

[bradeneuropeArthur]

What are the conditions to change the Icon for your program.
What is the trigger to be wrong or right is the question.
I have programmed this with the "Dirty mark" Status at the moment for showing you.

[abdullah_elq]

My trigger would be whenever a new document of a particular part is created.

For example when a new sheet metal document is created, enable a particular button. The button should be disabled in all other documents (including old sheet metal documents).

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Means:

Only If a new sheet-metal part file is created the button must be Green.

For all other parts it must be Red, Include old (non new) sheet metal parts.

For non new parts the button must also be Green.

Is this correct?

[abdullah_elq]

Yup! I'll be very grateful if you can show me how to do that.

Dear @bradeneuropeArthur ,

I wanna it check something as the template when item opened. Ex: List of users parameter/kind of item; Dim overrides in drawing; Scale that used of all views are in Standard?... After checked/fixed and saved it'll return done icon.

Maybe I'll have some idea, but at the moment  I wanna got solution to change icon as your video shown.

Thanks!

Hi @bradeneuropeArthur 
Could you please help us to share the code that can change the icon as your video?
I'll try to do the conditions to change the icon by myself.

@ngdnam88

I have asked/send you a while ago per message if you can send me the content of your add-in file.

Did not get a reply from you.

If I have that I can update and you can paste it in your code.

Please see your message...
