Ribbon DropDown menu trick

[dsmits]

some Kudos would be great 🙂

after button 1 & 2 you can pretty much just copy and paste your ribbon button/macro/cmd right in order like you normally would edit your ribbon (notepad++). for button 1 and 2 you need to keep this format to a point.

Note---you cannot edit your tree in power mill, you will have to do your changes in notepad and import your ribbon in. But after you import it in you can move your dropdown to another ribbon.

so i would finish your drop down and then move to your desire ribbon

Note-- you can make drop downs from other dropdown items but does get pretty confusing. ill post that one too if i still have.

Hi,

What do you use for edit xml files? I suggest you to use notepad++

Problem 1:  You are closing the ribbon on line 7.

Problem 2: You have 'quick access buttons' without uiQUICKACCESSTOOLBAR

Problem 3: Disorganized xml tree makes hard to find errors. Try to keep clean.

If you need more help, just ask.

Hello, iamcdn79

I just have the drop down arrow below the title when the length of the word is small like "ROCAS" in other cases it appears like yours.

Ahhh so it's an intermel Powermill setting that determines that then
