Custom Tab not showing in new files? * Answered :)

Adam Bradley Dec 17, 2013 1:51 PM

Hey all, I made a custom tab in my toolbar with a macro in it. The macro works fine but when I open up a new part / file that custom tab is gone. But when I open the file / part I happen to make that custom tab in it is there. It's like its only embedded in that file.
So I would like for that custom tab to always be available no matter if I start a new project or open an exsisting one.

I hope that makes sence, hahaha

Thanks

Adam

As a work around I made that macro a Hotkey on my keyboard so I can still run the macro when I need it, but I would still like the custom tab to show up in new files & not just the one I happen to have made it in...

If anyone has an idea please let me know asap

Thanks

  I am guessing the tab is showing in a part environment and not assembly environment (or vice versa).
  
  A custom tab in the command manager will only show in the file types it was created in. Basically, there are 3 separated setups for the command manager based on what file type you have open. If you want your custom tab in all 3 you have to open a file of each type and customize the command manager from within each one.

    If this is the issue, you don't have to recreate it from scratch. Simply go into Customize mode (Tools, Customize) and then right mouse select the tab and choose "Copy Tab to Assemblies".
    
    I hope this helps,

Adam, I've seen something like that. Can you attach one file which shows a similar behavior?

Please use "advanced editor" in case you want to attach any files.Click on reply and then click "use advanced editor".
