Customize - Application Buttons

Use the Customize User Interface dialog box to create or modify application buttons for the ribbon. An application button displays to the right of the Application Button in the user interface, and when you click it, displays a set of commands that are commonly file-related, such as New, Open, Import, Export, and more.

In the Customize User Interface dialog box, click the Customize tab, select either a workspace or a customization file (for example, ICAD), then expand Application Buttons in the list.

To add a new application button

Right-click an application button in the list, then choose Insert Application Button. The new application button will be inserted above your selection in the list.

Type the application button name, and then press Enter.

Add commands to the application button by dragging them from the Command List to the Customization list.
