[ORD CE 2021 R1] Customizing the ribbon for multiple users

I've made custom tools for running macros from my ribbon. The other users in my workspace also need these tools. Is there a configuration file that can be modified to accomplish this or do the users have to create their own tools with the same settings?

  • I seem to recall that there is a Personal.dgnlib that you can use to customize the GUI. I believe it is the only DGNLIB that you can edit without it being the active DGN file.

    But if you create (or copy) that dgnlib with a new name, you can open it and then, the customizations are made in that file, which can be shared as Mark mentions. But, be careful. If you want to make a workflow with a custom version of another workflow's ribbon, copy it into that workflow and modify its copy. I made the mistake of thinking when I added a ribbon to a new workflow, it was a copy. I ended up disabling the geometry profile tool for everyone, instead of just the plat team that only uses horizontal geometry.
