Hi

         I have created the  custom assembly ribbon tab in inventor using inventor Addin. It loaded automatically when the assembly file gets open and works fine

          Am not able to find the problem for this

        Please provide the solution for this

Hi, which Ribbon panel are you ussing?

Something like this?

Ribbon = "Assembly"

RibbonTab =  "id_TabAssemble"

RibbonPanel = "MyAddin_Panel"

If you're ussing VB.Net, your placing code should look like something like this below.

It requires you to pass it your m_ClientTD (your Addin's GUID) and the button definition

Dim oRibbon As String = "Assembly"
Dim oTab As String = "id_TabAssemble"
Dim oPanel As String = "MyAddin"

Dim UIManager As Inventor.UserInterfaceManager
UIManager = InventorApplication.UserInterfaceManager

' Get the assembly ribbon
Dim assemblyRibbon As Inventor.Ribbon = UIManager.Ribbons.Item(oRibbon)
		
' Get the tab
Dim assembleTab As Inventor.RibbonTab
assembleTab = assemblyRibbon.RibbonTabs.Item(oTab)

' Create a new panel on the Assemble tab
Dim panel As Inventor.RibbonPanel
Try
	panel = assembleTab.RibbonPanels.Add(oPanel, _
	oPanel & "_Panel", m_ClientID)
Catch
	panel = assembleTab.RibbonPanels.Item(oPanel & "_Panel")
End Try
	
' Add the buttons to the tab, True for large button
panel.CommandControls.AddButton(m_ButtonDefinition, True)
