Creating custom icons & commands on Ribbon bar

[rickemeyer]

I've searched this site for exact steps on how to do this, but cant find anything. What I want to do is create custom icons & bitmaps that when I click on it, it will run a custom macro. What is the process for doing this? I'm running 9.0.2.5 and using the Ribbon bars. Step by step instructions would be great, I'm not too tech savvy. Thanks!

Start by right-clicking on the ribbon > Customize and add a new user command.
NX 9 documentation for this is at Link

You can create a custom button for your own use fairly easily; instructions to do so can be found here:

If you want to create custom ribbons/commands to share with your coworkers, it is a bit more involved but not overly difficult. In this case, you would need to use MenuScript. Information on MenuScript can be found in the NX help under "programming tools" (you may need to install the programming help files to access them).
