Button for use within the Creo ribbon
PTC Creo Parametric allows you to customize the ribbon UI and save the modifications in the creo_parametric_customization.ui file by adding your own mapkeys. By this method you can only provide popup help for the button in a single language and icons tend to be instable and inflexible.
SMARTMenu disposes your mapkeys as Toolkit commands and therefore offers enhanced stability, flexibility and support for dual language popup help.
  1. Click UI commands from the Mode selection area within the Configuation dialog
    • The UI structure tree is displayed
  2. Select any command from the Creo command list
    • The Command Properties are displayed
  3. Configure the button as described in Configure a new button
  4. Check Designate for use in Ribbon to make the button available as Toolkit command
     Note
    The button is NOT available in any context menu. You can use it to customize the ribbon or drive a button event. (see Add events to a button)
    You can designate any other RMB button to be disposed as Toolkit command
