Distribution of Ribbon Sets

[Uffe]

Hullo boys and girls,


How DO you distribute ribbon sets to other boys and girls who might want to play with them too?

Once you've made your ribbon set all nice and neat, you'll find it squirrelled away in the secret box %AppData%\Roaming\Sparx Systems\EA\RibbonSets.xml -- but that's your very own special secret box that no one else can touch.

Now in there, you can write in your best handwriting a "techid" to which the ribbon set belongs -- but that's just telling fibs because it's nothing to do with any MDG Technologies at all, now is it boys and girls?

You might think that copying the whole XML structure into an MDG Technology file would make our beautifullest ribbon appear in in the other boys' and girls' GUIs, but no! Calamity! That doesn't work either!

So how DO you do this, boys and girls?

Can't you also define them at the model level.
IIRC you can set a model default, and a ribbon set for each user group.

This is of course only an option if you use a central DBMS model

Yep, you're right.

I thought that only applied to Perspectives, but you can link Ribbon Sets to user groups as well, as outlined on https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/user_interface/persp_sec_grp.html.

Thanks, Geert.
