Hi VP Team, Please can you give me a example of a plugin and toolbar within it. So if I want something like Tools in the VP menu and within that I need a option like “Publish Properties”.
When I try the examples here - Implementing of Visual Paradigm Plug-in they do not work and if I remove menuPath attribute then it appears under the default ‘Plugin’ tab
Need a example that can create MyTools and within that “MyAction” for example similar to Tools > “Publish Properties”
Hi lalitnagpal,
Thank you for your post. I have forwarded your question to our engineering team and will post again when there is an answer.
Best regards,
Jick Yeung
Dear lalitnagpal,
In the plugin xml, please define something like:
<plugin
<toolbar …>
<action ribbonPath=“Tools/PublishProject” … >
…
This will show a button under the “Tools” tab, and after the Project Publisher button.
Bes regards,
Jick Yeung
Hi Jick,
Thanks for your response. So that helps me place a button in a existing ribbonPath.
Following are some queries please
a) I wasn’t sure why we have <toolbar… in your response when we are providing a existing path using ribbonPath=“Tools/PublishProject”. Is it when we want our own option instead of Tools for example.
b) How can I create MyTools similar to Tools. A full syntax would be wonderful please.
Thanks a lot.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Please try now:
О! Thank you so much, Jick!
Now I understood too how to make my own section in the ribbon.
You’re welcome.
Could you please republish example, or, better, publish it on github?
