Invoke contextual ribbon when selecting a specific block

[Shay.Gaghe]

Hi

When I click a block with a certain prefix in it's name I want to invoke a contextual ribbon. 

How it can be done?

this is an example I have for dimension linear toolbar button

^C^C(command "+RIBBON" "ACAD.ID_TabAnnotate");_dimlinear

[jduframe]

under CUI editor you look under ribbons for the ID and replace (underlined) with ID wanted

and the last part is the command invoked

^C^C(command "+RIBBON" "ACAD.ID_TabAnnotate");_dimlinear

U call the annotate tab Ben ever a dim is selected?  But how I can call a  costume tab only when a specific block is selected?

[jduframe]

not sure on that, I only know how to have ribbon change when toolbar button is selected, unless you want to make a button that inserts the block and calls the ribbon all in one

[jduframe]

^C^C(command "+RIBBON" "ACAD.ID_TabAnnotate");_insert;DetB;\;;;;;^C^C

I believe it would be similiar to this, with ribbon name replaced and which ever you name you block

I'll give it a try. Tx
