How to make a command icon, added to the Ribbon Interface Tool Bar via a customized '.men' file, use a command favorite?



Solution

1. Create the command favorite interactively in NX, this creates the 'Favorites' folder containing the '.fav' files.


2. Edit the add-on menu (.men) file to reference the favorite, by adding:

', FAVORITE="<name_of_fav_file>"' to the end of the line that defines the button.


An example of the syntax is shown below, in the out-of-the-box 'ug_main.men', in this case a favorite is used by the 'Simple Distance' command:


BUTTON UG_INFO_SIMPLE_GEOMETRIC_DISTANCE 
PRIMARY=UG_INFO_GEOMETRIC_DISTANCE,FAVORITE="SimpleDistance"


(Note: The command should be all on one line.)
