Introduction to Contextual Ribbons
Introduction
This topic will explain what a contextual ribbon is, and provide links to the topics that cover each contextual ribbon specifically.
Contextual Ribbons
While most ribbons are accessible through their tabs at all times, contextual ribbons only appear when a particular item type is selected. BobCAD-CAM's contextual ribbons appear when a particular job type, or an item in that job is selected. Clicking on the Milling Job, or an item under the Milling Job, for instance, will bring up the Milling ribbon.
The Contextual Ribbons
There is a contextual ribbon for each one of the job types in BobCAD-CAM. Each one of the items in the contextual ribbon is also accessible through the CAM Tree itself, but is presented in a ribbon to allow for easy selection. Just above each ribbon image is a link to the ribbons main topic.
