From a purely CAD Admin point of view I love the Admin ribbon, but it really needs to be extended to have any real use. If I have the Admin ribbon open I should not have to go looking for Customize Ribbon and the vba tools elsewhere.
Thanks,
Agreed. Any other suggestions for amendments to this Ribbon?

The true power with any of these tools Marc, is when they evolve their functionality when opened in different packages. Having the Admin ribbon auto add tabs depending on which program you're in would be a big plus. I don't have CE here at work, but will go through my list tonight when I get home and update.
Checking in Update 10 we now have a Customize Ribbon available that was not there in U9 so it could now be added in the Environment group. Logically I guess VBA would be added into this group.
However we also have the Interfaces tab:
Should Customize buttons go there? Also should the Entry group go to this tab as well?
Or...should there just be an Interface group under the home tab?
To add Ribbon content for different applications (or WorkSpace or WorkSet) create a DGNLIB for that context and add Ribbon content as required, e.g.:
The Customize Group is in (for now) my Personal..dgnlib so only shows up for me.
Note I can delete (for this DGNLIB, so actually delete = hide in this case) the Customize button from the Environment group:
It should go in the Interface ribbon really. Good to see it getting some attention, but it needs more work.
'Logically I guess VBA would be added into this group.'
Yes.
Enhancement 1024931:Admin Ribbon Extended Functionality
Request for interface improvements to the Admin Ribbon tools.
* Why are the View tools included? * Customize, and you could argue Function Keys and Gesture Assignments, should be under interface rather than home. * Add Toolboxes button to Interface. * Add Customize Ribbon and Tasks to Interface. * Add a context driven tab to OBD admin tools like Structural Rules, Structural Annotation, Mech Rules and so on. * Split out Admins tools from Home and leave just Attributes, Selection and Primary. Other tools should be in their own Admin tab. * Add another tab that gives access to programming tools. These aren’t even currently included.
