Ribbon tabs can be displayed on the ribbon with a workspace or based on a

contextual tab state when they are needed.

Ribbon Panels

By customizing ribbon panels, you can organize commands that you use

frequently similar to toolbars. With ribbon panels, you can quickly access

commands, and reduce the number of user interface elements that are

displayed.

Overview of Ribbon Panels

Ribbon panels are organized by rows, sub-panels, and slideout elements. Rows

and sub-panels are used to organize how commands and controls are displayed

on the ribbon panel. A slideout is automatically added to each ribbon panel

and controls which rows are shown by default. Rows located below a slideout

are displayed only when a ribbon panel is expanded.

The following table describes the properties of the Home 2D - Draw ribbon

panel as they appear in the Properties pane.
