Hi all,
90% of the time when I select annotation tab I want to start dimensioning.
is there a way through ilogic with a trigger maybe to activate dimension when selecting the tab?
this would be equivalent to using the shortcut D.
Activate dimension when selecting Annotation tab
Hi @romu51
I don't think that would be possible with iLogic ( you could likely do it by writing a small add-in, but that seems like overkill).
You could right click on the Dimension button and choose "Add to Quick Access Toolbar" and then just use the Dimension tool from there.
You could also add the Dimension button the Place Views tab on the User Command panel
( Tools tab > Customize button )
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Thanks for the reply.
I was afraid that would be the case. just wanted to reduce my clickings.
I'm comfortable with customising the ribbon and I'll give it a go.
it's just starting to get crowded with the ilogic buttons.
Hi @romu51 ,
You might check out JelteDeJong's Button Constructor app:

With it you can create you own custom ribbon tab.
Another thing that might help is to add distinctive icons for your ilogic buttons and turn off the text.
To create a custom icon for your iLogic Ribbon button:
- Create a *.png file that is 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels
- Place this image file in the same folder that the Rule resides in
- Format the name to be as such:
- <Name of the iLogic Rule or Form> . <light or dark> . <small or large> .png
Example:
iLogic rule name: Create PDF
iLogic rule button image name: Create PDF.light.small.png
Restart Inventor if needed.
