remove any customization you’ve added, and return it to “out of the box” condition. For older guys like me, there is the Large option which is very similar to the Text Off option… only more bunched up. These two are good for conserving screen space. Compact takes this one step further by making the icons smaller, and reducing the Ribbon to a single line of tools to narrow it even further. Small gives you a smaller version of all of the icons, and bunches them up to make the ribbon smaller. Text Off simply removes the tool name so you are left with the icon only. The Ribbon itself can be manipulated in appearance, to your liking as seen here: A pull down menu will appear with check boxes for all available panels. This can also be achieved by using the small arrow seen in the upper right of this Ribbon tab. (this is going to be an image heavy post… fair warning.)

On each Tab, you can select or deselect the panels that you would like to show, as seen in this image. These panels are used to group similar tools, and are usually separated by a line. The Ribbon menu is made up of Tabs, which are what you see along the top of the ribbon. There are a number of ways you can customize and personalize your ribbon menus to make them work best for you.

Today I am going to talk a little about customizing your ribbon menus.

The other day I talked about customizing your keyboard aliases in Autodesk Inventor.
