AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 - UI Changes, Part 3 - The Ribbon, Home Tab

The reactions to the full ribbonization in the 2010 release of AutoCAD^®Architecture run the gammut from enthusiastic acceptance of the new UI to "What have they done to my program now, and how can I change it back immediately?" I suppose I fall somewhere in between. I have been using Microsoft Office 2007 at work for nearly a year now, and I still find myself muttering under my breath because I can not figure out where they hid the command I want (and used to know where it was). I do not use those programs often enough to quickly master the new UI, and concede I am not enough of a gear head to have spent a lot of time reading up on the theory behind the Ribbon interface/workflow. I will also not be likely using 2010 in a production environment for some time, so it is difficult for me to gage exactly what the impact on my day-to-day work flow would be. What I have seen of it in the 2010 betas leaves me somewhere in the middle, too. I really like the way the contextual tabs pop up and provide access to commands related to a selected object, but am not fully convinced that this is all that much better than the right-click context menus (which have not yet been deleted from the interface). For frequently-used commands on the static tabs, even when I know where to go, it seems like there are at least one or two more clicks to run a command.

For a enthusiast's view of the Ribbon, take a look at Robin Capper's blog article on the Ribbon in AutoCAD Architecture 2010, and keep an eye out for future installments.

Home Tab
Here is what you should find on the Home tab of the AutoCAD Architeture 2010 Ribbon. The images and descriptions posted here are based on the final beta version; it is possible that there could have been some changes made prior to the release of the shipping version. As always, you can click on any reduced-size image to see a full-size version. Use the Back button in your Browser to return here.Build Panel
The Build Panel contains commands related to the creation of AEC objects. Note that a down arrow icon indicates that there is a flyout associated with a particular panel or command button. When you hover over a command button that has a down arrow, you will see two "zones" - one with the icon, and the arrow (the background will be darker in the zone over which your cursor is at the moment). Left clicking on the icon will execute that command; left clicking on the arrow will activate the flyout, giving access to the "main" command and additional, related commands. Hovering will display tooltips, if you have those activated, which I would highly recommend, at least until you learn the new icons. For example, the Tools command button at the left of the Build panel displays the Design Tools icon. Selecting that will open the Tool palettes, if closed, and set the Design Tool Palette Group active, if you have a group so named. Selecting the arrow portion displays the following flyout, which also allows you to open Content Browser or the Properties palette, in addition to the Design Tools command.The Wall command button provides access to the WallAdd (main), CurtainWallAdd and CurtainWallUnitAdd commands.The Door command button provides access to the DoorAdd (main), OpeningAdd and DoorWinAssemblyAdd commands.The Window command button does not have a flyout, but does allow you to start the WindowAdd command. The Roof Slab command button provides access to the RoofSlabAdd (main), RoofAdd and SlabAdd commands.The Stair command button provides access to the StairAdd (main), RailingAdd and StairTowerGenerate commands. That last one requires that you be using the Drawing Management system (Project Browser/Project Navigator) and have a project set current.The Space command button provides access to the SpaceAdd (main), SpaceAdd, using the Generate option and ZoneAdd commands.The Column Grid command button provides access to the ColumnGridAdd (main), ColumnAdd, BeamAdd and BraceAdd commands.The Ceiling Grid command button does not have a flyout, but does provide access to the CeilingGridAdd command. Do not forget you need to be in a Display Configuration that has the display of ceiling grids turned on for the current view direction to see the results of this command. The Box command button provides access to the MassElementAdd command, with the BOx option chosen. The flyout provides access to all of the other Mass Element options, except for the Doric and Freeform options (which can be chosen from the Properties palette after excuting any of the other options from the Ribbon), and the DrapeAdd command.Draw Panel
The Draw Panel provides access to the AutoCAD drawing commands that you would have found on the Shapes toolbar in previous releases. One thing to note: The Line button icon, like all of the flyout buttons in the Build panel, will not change if you choose one of the flyout options, but all of the other buttons will change to whatever command you last chose (like a toolbar flyout used to do). The Line command panel provides access to the Line (main), Pline, ConstructionLine, Spline, Ray and 3dpoly commands.The Arc command button provides access to the various ways to specify an arc, with the 3-point method being the initial icon option.Likewise, the Circle command button provides access to the different ways you can create a circle, with the initial icon running the Center, Radius option.The Rectangle command button runs the Rectang command from the initial icon and also gives access to the Polygon, AecPolygonAdd, Boundary, Region, Donut and Helix commands.The Multiple Point command button provides access to the Point, Divide and Measure commands.The Center Ellipse command button provides access to the Ellipse command, with the center option chosen, the Ellipse command and the Ellipse command, Arc option chosen.The final command button on the Draw Panel gives access to the Bhatch and Gradient commands.Modify Panel
The Modify Panel has a number of object modification commands, including a number on the panel flyout which are accessed by selecting the panel name. The "pin" that displays at the left end of the panel name when the flyout is displayed can be selected to pin the flyout in the open position.The featured Match Properties icon runs the MatchProp command. The smaller icons, starting at the top and running left-to-right, row by row, allow you to run [Row 1] the Move/3dmove, Rotate/3drotate, Fillet/Chamfer, [Row 2] Erase, Copy, LineworkTrim/Trim/LineworkExtend/Extend (the "Linework" variants are the AEC enhanced commands), [Row 3] Explode, Offset, DrawOrder (Bring to Front, Send to Back, Bring Above Objects and Send Under Objects), [Row 4, on flyout] Mirror, Scale, Stretch, Lengthen, LineworkArray/Array/3darray, [Row 5] Cut, CopyClip/CopyBase/CopyLink, PasteClip/PasteBlock/PasteAsHyperlink/PasteOrig/PasteSpec, LineworkObscure/LineworkCrop, [Row 6]SetByLayer, Chspace, Align/RepositionFrom/LineworkSpaceEvenly/LineworkCenter/LineworkDivide, Break/Break at Point/Join, LineworkMerge/LineworkSubtract, [Row 7] Pedit/SplineEdit/HatchEdit/MassElementConvert/ConvertTo3DSolids

Layers Panel
The Layers Panel collects all layer-related commands. The top row features command buttons for the Layer, Layiso, Layuniso, Layfrz, Layoff (an unfortunate command name, given the current state of the global economy), Laymch, Layerp, and Laymcur commands. The button on the second row displays the name of the current Layer State, and when the flyout is activated, allows you to select from a list of defined layer states, create a new layer state or manage layer states. The button on the third row displays the equivalent of the layer dropdown from the former layer toolbar. New in 2010, you can now click on the color swatch and change the color of a layer directly from here, without the need to open the Layer Properties Manager.The fourth row (first row of the flyout) has command buttons for the Layon, Laythw, Laylck, Layulk, Laycur, CopyToLayer, Laywalk, Layvpi (freezes a layer in all other viewports), Laymrg and Laydel commands. The fifth row has command buttons that allow you to toggle locked layer fading on and off and set the amount of fading of locked layers when turned on. The sixth row runs the AecDwgLayerSetup command, opening the Drawing Setup dialog to the Layering tab. The seventh row opens the Style Manager, filtered for Layer Key Styles. The eighth row opens the Layer Key Overrides dialog, allowing you to set a Layer Key Style current, set overrides on the fields defined in the Layer Standard associated with that Layer Key Style and enable/disable all Layer Key Overrides. The ninth row runs the RemapLayers command, which will put selected AEC objects back on the layer associated with the Layer Key assigned to that object type.

Annotation Panel
The featured Text icon on the Annotation Panel runs the Mtext command. The first row command buttons give access to assorted AEC Dimension and AutoCAD Dimension commands and AnnoRevisionCloudAdd/MaskAdd/Wipeout. The second row contains command buttons for Mleader/AIMleaderEditAdd/AIMleaderEditRemove/MleaderAlign/MleaderCollect and various reference/sheet keynoting and keynote legend choices. The third row allows you to add a number of Schedule Tags (these are linked to the ones available in the tool palettes; I believe these can be customized to tags present in your own tool palettes) and the DefineTag command and add various Schedule Tables (again, linked to those in the tool palettes)/open Style Manager filtered for Schedule Table Styles and add an AutoCAD table.The fourth row (first in the flyout) opens the Style Manager, filtered for AEC Dimension Styles. The fifth row offers another location to run the DefineTag command. The sixth row gives access to the Style command, with a dropdown list to set the current text style. The seventh, eighth and ninth rows do the same for dimension styles, multileader styles and AutoCAD table styles.

Inquiry Panel
The Inquiry Panel provides access to the Distance option of the MeasureGeom command (which seems so much more cumbersome than the good old Dist command, although it does have fancier on-screen graphics), the Area option of the MeasureGeom command (similar comment with respect to the Area command), the QuickCalc commandand, in the flyout, the List, SpaceEvalutation, SpaceShowBoundingObjects and VisualAudit commands.

Section & Elevation Panel
The Section & Elevation Panel has command buttons for the VerticalSection, HorizontalSection, BldgSectionLineAdd and BldgElevationLineAdd commands and, in the flyout, the CreateHLR, QuickSlice and RefeshSectionsElevations commands.

Details Panel
The Details Panel has a single command button for the DtlCompManager command, which opens the Detail Component Manager dialog.View Panel
The View Panel has three flyouts, the View flyout,the Visual Styles flyoutand the Zoom flyout.These should be familiar as there were formerly toolbars for each of these.

The frequency with which I use these commands leads me to believe that I will usually "tear off" this panel and leave it as a floating panel.A panel can be torn off by selecting the panel title and, while holding down the left mouse button, dragging it off of the Ribbon. Doing so will make it available at all times, even when another Ribbon tab is current. If you hover over the torn-off panel, it will "grow wings".The left side provides a place to grab and move the panel (you can also do so by selecting and holding down the left button on the panel title). The right side has two icons; the top one will return the panel to the Ribbon, the other will toggle the orientation of the panel/title from horizontal to vertical.

D-A-CH Content for ACD-A 2010 (English versions)

As reported by Bill Glennie of Autodesk in this thread of the Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture Discussion Group, a download for AutoCAD^® Architecture "D-A-CH" (Germany, Austria and Switzerland (Confoederatio Helvetica)) content for those working in an English-language version of the program is now available from the Autodesk website. In previous releases, this localized content was available as an option on the intstallation disc, but this does not appear to be the case with the 2010 release.

Deleting Property Sets Using the Properties Palette

Here is something that I suppose I should have known, but "discovered" today. If you are trying to remove a Property Set from multiple objects and your current selection includes at least one object that does not have that Property Set attached, you will not be offered that Property Set as a choice for removal when you choose the Remove property sets button on the Extended Data tab of the Properties Palette.

This does not apply to the reverse of this situation. If you are trying to add a Property Set to multiple objects (to which the Property Set applies) and happen to include an object that already has that Property Set attached, you will still be offered the option to attach the set.

This came to my attention because there was a drawing file (done by others) that had duplicates of two of our standard Property Set Definitions (one for Spaces and one for Doors) and the duplicates were not purgeable. The duplicates were not referenced in a Schedule Table Style, and when selecting all of the Doors or all of the Spaces in the drawing, the duplicates were not on the list that could be removed when using the Remove property sets button on the Extended Data tab of the Properties Palette, giving the impression that they were not attached.

I created two Schedule Table Styles (one for Spaces and one for Doors) to identify whether any objects had these sets attached, each using at least one property from the associated duplicate Property Set Definition. I placed an instance of each Schedule Table in the drawing, selecting all objects for the selection set for each table. Objects with ?? in the columns from the duplicate Property Set did not have it attached; objects with real data did. It turned out that there was only one Space with the duplicate Space set, which would have been tedious to find manually. A large number of Doors had the duplicate Door set, so I used the Add All Property Sets choice from the Schedule Table context menu to add the duplicate Property Set to all Doors, and was then able to use the Properties palette to remove that set from all Doors. After deleting the Schedule Tables and purging their definitions, I was able to purge the duplicate sets from the drawing.

As to how those duplicate sets got in the file and attached to objects in the first place, that will have to remain a mystery.

AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 – UI Changes, Part 2 – Resizing the Ribbon

While not new to the 2010 release, I am assuming this will be of interest to most AutoCAD Architecture users, since the 2009 release only used the Ribbon in the Visualization Workspace. Those of you who are eternally seeking ways to maximize the amount of screen area devoted to the actual drawing will be especially interested. The Autodesk implementation of the Ribbon allows for three different levels of display, controlled by the downward pointing arrow icon located adjacent to the Ribbon tab names.

When you start AutoCAD Architecture 2010 for the first time, the Ribbon will be maximized, with the full current tab in view, as shown below. In addition to the visible commands, panel titles that have a downward pointing arrow have additional commands on a flyout that displays if you select the panel title. As you become accustomed to the Ribbon interface and learn where the various commands are located, you may want to click on the arrow icon next to the tab titles to "Minimize to Panel Titles".(Select any minimized image to see it full-size; use the Back arrow in your browser to return here.)

This will hide the command button area of the Ribbon panels, but leave the panel titles of the current tab displayed for easy reference.Simply hover the cursor over one of the panel titles to have the commands available on that panel pop into view. This gives you quick access to the commands (including those "hidden" in the panel title when the full Ribbon is displayed) while giving you back nearly an inch of screen space.

Selecting the arrow icon while in Minimize to Panel Titles modechanges to the most compact display of the Ribbon, showing only the tab names. In this mode, you need to click on the tab name to get the entire tab to temporarily display, allowing you to select a command or, where available, activate a panel title flyout.

Selecting the arrow icon while in Minimize to Tabs mode returns you to the full display of the active tab.

AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 - UI Changes, Part 1 - The Application Menu

The Application Menu (accessed from the big red A in the upper left corner) has been revised, to coordinate with the overall user interface (UI) changes. The image below shows the 2009 Application Menu.(As always, select any reduced-size image to see the full-size version; use the back arrow in your browser to return here.)

The 2010 version drops the pull-down menu list, since those are not part of the new UI. (You can download CUIX and related files, along with instructions for restoring the pulldown menus and toolbars in this Autodesk Knowledge Base techinical solution, if you must. I would recommend giving the new UI a try before doing so. UPDATE: The referenced Knowledge Base Article has been removed from the Autodesk website. You can find a copy of the ZIP file that had been available in this thread in the AutoCAD Architecture Customization Discussion Group.) The Application Menu in 2010 provides one-stop shopping for commands that affect the file as a whole, as can be seen in the image below.
The search bar at the top of the right side of the Application Menu just might become your new best friend, at least until you become familiar with the Ribbon interface and learn where the commands you want are located.Selecting one of the items in the search list executes the referenced command, although it does not switch to the referenced Ribbon tab if that tab was not already current. This works great for finding commands in the "static" (always displayed) Ribbon tabs (Home, Insert, Annotate, Render, View and Manage, in the out-of-the-box ACD-A 2010 setup). Unfortunately, unless you already have one of the contexual tabs active, such as the Wall tab when a Wall object is selected, the search will not return "hits" for the commands available on the contextual tabs.

You can still access a list of recently opened documents or projects (see first 2010 image above; use the "pins" at the right of each item to keep it on the list) or a list of currently open documents (see image below), by choosing one of the icons at the top of the left column, circled in red below.The recent actions option available in 2009 appears to have been dropped.

The "whole document" commands listed at the left side allow you to open, save, plot, publish and close drawings. Each item executes a command outright, and those with an arrow at the right have multiple related options that can be accessed selecting the arrow or simply hovering over the item. I will leave you to explore those options on your own, but will point out one that may be of particular interest, given that the Open Drawing Menu (accessed from the left pointing arrow in a circle icon on the far left side of the Drawing Window Status Bar since the 2004 release) has been deleted, just like the pulldown menus. I use that often to open the Drawing Setup dialog; the out-of-the-box Ribbon (as of the final Beta, anyway) does not have a way to directly execute the "Drawing Setup" command. You can use the Application Menu > Drawing Utilities > Units option to quickly open the Drawing Setup dialog (AecDwgUnitsSetup command)to the Units tab, and then, if necessary, switch to any of the other tabs to make the settings you need.Typing "aecdwgsetup" (opens to last active tab), "AecDwgUnitsSetup", "units" or, if you are using the out-of-the-box acad.pgp file or a custom variant thereof, "un" will also work. You can also open the Drawing Setup dialog directly to the Layering tab from the Ribbon at Home > Layers (flyout at the bottom of the panel) > Select Layer Standard, which runs the AecDwgLayerSetup command and opens the Drawing Setup dialog to the Layering tab. Direct access to the Scale and Display tabs appears to be limited to typed commands, AecDwgScaleSetup and AecDwgDisplaySetup, respectively.

More AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 Features

Spaces:

Draw order for Spaces is set automatically to "Back" so that any pre-existing objects or linework will be visible. This is a nice feature, especially if you are in a Display Configuration/View Direction that has a solid hatch turned on. One small problem is if you want to actually select an associative Space (or any Space that has Walls or other linework at the boundaries), as the graphics are "Back" and the solid hatch does not seem to provide a easy way to select the Space. You can switch to a Display Configuration, such as Low Detail, that does not display a solid hatch or remember that you can cycle through overlapping objects by pressing SHIFT + SPACEBAR.

There is a new Space separator tool to make dividing Spaces that are not separated by Walls, using AutoCAD linework, easier. While you could do this manually before, the AecSpaceSeparator command makes this easier, and the tool allows you to assign a Layer Key to the separator linework. The out-of-the-box tool has the WALL layer key assigned, but you could just as easily make a copy of the tool and have the separator linework (a LWPOLYLINE object) placed on any layer for which you have a Layer Key, such as a non-plotting layer.


Structural Members:

There is a new automatic property source for Structural Members, "Length along Baseline", that projects the "net" member parts onto the baseline and then calculates the length. A "true" length can be determined from this property, which takes into account the effects of trim planes, offsets and interference conditions on the actual length of the Structural Member.

Project Navigator:

The PDF format has been added to the list of formats to which you can now print directly from within Project Navigator, which also includes the DWF and DWFx formats. I have not tried this myself, but the claim is made that the plotting utility has also been enhanced to allow creating PDFs with more accurate line weights.

AEC Dimensions:

A new arrow-shaped grip allows you to flip the position of the dimension text to the opposite side of the dimension line, giving you more control over the placement of the text. This is most useful for nearly vertical dimension strings that are rotated beyond 90 degrees, so that you can put the text on the side you want. There is one grip per AEC Dimension object, and the grip affects all chains and all dimensions.


IFC Enhancements:

I have not had the need to work with IFC yet, so I will pass on the enhancements that are part of 2010 and leave it to those who use IFC to comment on these additions.

• Space Boundary: Relevant information on the space boundary is attached for proper energy analysis in AutoCAD MEP.
• Export and Import via the Command Line: You now have the option to turn off the dialog boxes and do IFC export and import operations from the Command Line.
• Added IFC Physical Quantities: IfcQuantityCount, IfcQuantityLength, IfcQuantityTime, IfcQuantityVolume and IfcQuantityWeight.

Stairs:

Done primarily for the German market, enhancements to Stairs include an "accurate graphic representation" of the stair cut meeting German standards, Stair and ramp tags supporting the German standard and a distinction between ramps and stairs. I was unaware that my Imperial Stairs had an inaccurate graphic representation. I did not install the German beta and I am not familiar with German market standards, so I can not offer much comment on these new features. I was not able to find any stair or ramp tags in either the Imperial or Metric content included with the English-language beta. Ramps in the beta I tested remained stair styles, with the treads and risers reduced to 0 width and stringers of various configurations pretending to be ramps and sometimes curbs. There is a new ramp arrow display toggle, that apparently shows ramps in accordance with the German standard; this is available, and the toggle is located on the Other tab of Display Representations intended for plan views. This will only display when the Display of both Tread and Riser are unchecked in the Flight Dimensions area on the Components tab of the Stair Style, so that may be the way AutoCAD Architecture distinguishes ramp Stairs from stair Stairs.

AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 - Editing Wall Cleanup In Place

Notice of the lifting of the NDA for the AutoCAD^® Architecture 2010 Beta was finally received on Tuesday. The big change in 2010 is that the interface is going all Ribbon, all the time. The Visualization Workspace in 2009 made use of the Ribbon, but the others kept the previous pulldown menus and toolbars. In 2010, the entire interface has gone over to the Ribbon side. When selecting an AEC Object, a contextual Ribbon tab with commands related to the object will appear.

You can now also create multiple versions of the Quick Access toolbar as components of the CUI file, then assign one to each Workspace you define (rather than defining the Quick Access toolbar right in the Workspace, as was done in 2009). That would allow you to have the same Quick Access toolbar in multiple Workspaces and only need to edit it once to make changes to all.

If you are also a user of Inventor, or have friends or colleagues who are, you can now export Inventor part files and assemblies to AutoCAD Architecture as Multi-View Blocks.

Walls have been enhanced by adding fillet and chamfer to the list of commands available when editing wall endcaps in place. The one major, non-Ribbon feature added in this release is the ability to edit Wall cleanup in place, on a component-by-component basis, as shown in the following example.

Two stud Walls, with similar components, but different stud widths, where one face of stud aligns, will still not clean up automatically if there is no perpendicular Wall at the place where the two Walls meet.
In previous releases, one workaround for this was to simulate cleanup by creating open ended Wall Endcaps and offsetting one of them so that the linework was continuous, but the Wall graphlines did not meet.

In AutoCAD Architecture 2010, the new cleanup edit-in-place feature can be used to get the cleanup you want, without the need to create offset Wall Endcaps, and then fuss with the location of the graphline endpoints (and hope no one else messes with the results). This new feature is similar to the Wall Endcap edit-in-place feature that was greatly improved in the 2009 release.

1. Select the Wall with the wider stud. Notice that the contextual Wall Ribbon tab appears and becomes active. In the Cleanup panel, select the Cleanup Edit in Place icon.The Wall Ribbon tab is replaced by the Edit in Place: Wall Cleanup contextual Ribbon tab. A number of commands related to editing cleanups in place can be found in this tab, but the edits needed for this task can be done using grip edit options.


2. The first component of the Wall will initially be selected. While this component will need to be modified eventually, edit the stud component first, to avoid warning messages about having the GWB component, with its higher priority number, overlapping the stud component.The cyan circle grips represent vertices; the cyan rectangle grips allow you to operate on the edge on which it lies. As with other edit-in-place operations, you can use the Ctrl key to cycle through options once a grip has been selected. Notice that a vertex has been conveniently placed at the location where the adjacent Wall’s stud component ends, anticipating the edit to the stud component in the Wall being edited.


3. Hover over the left edge grip and notice the options that the tool tip gives for editing that edge.Offset is the initial action, and is the one needed. Select the grip, and move the cursor "up" (away from the Wall end and the narrower Wall). Key in an offset value equal to the thickness of the GWB component, in this case 5/8". (I had polar tracking turned on, and 90 degrees was one of the angles. If you do not usually have polar or ortho turned on, you may want to check to be certain the offset distance is as desired, or explicitly key it in as @0,5/8). The editing of the stud component is now complete.
4. Select the left GWB component. Hover over the right vertex grip and notice the options the tool tip gives for editing the vertex.Vertices have only two options, Move and Remove. Select the right vertex grip and move it “up” 5/8” by snapping to the endpoint of the offset stud component.
5. Now select the edge grip. Press Ctrl twice to cycle to Add Vertex. Snap to the right endpoint of the offset stud edge.
6. Select the edge grip on the angled edge. Press Ctrl twice to cycle to Add Vertex. Snap to the right endpoint of the narrower stud. The GWB component is now complete.
7. Select the Finish icon in the Edits panel of the of the Edit in Place: Wall Cleanup tab to save the changes made. The GWB component on the side where the stud width changes now wraps the offset stud and cleans up with that of the narrower Wall.The cleanup alert triangles are now gone.

The dashed gray lines indicate that there is a cleanup override. These only show when the Graph Display Representation is active (when the Wall Justification Display is toggled on) and are on a non-plotting layer in the out-of-the-box display settings. There is also an additional cyan rectangular grip when the Graph Display Representation is active, which allows you to delete the cleanup override. NOTE: This grip will be coincidental with the end grip for the wall to which the overrides are attached, and therefore will not be selectable. Select the other wall, or select the dashed gray lines to choose the other wall and have access to the rectangular Remove Component Overrides grip. Do not use a crossing window on gray lines, as that will select both walls.

The image below has two pairs of walls, both with the offset on the wider stud as described above and the Wall Justification Display toggled on. In the pair to the left, the narrower stud wall is selected, and the rectangular Remove Component Overrides grip can be seen at the top end of the wider stud wall. In the pair to the right, the wider stud wall is selected, and the rectangular Remove Component Overrides grip is hidden by the Wall End grip. (You can tell there are at least two active grips there because no tool tip displays when hovering over the Wall End grip.)
The screen captures above were made with an earlier version of the Beta. The Ribbon icon for the Add Selected command on the Wall ribbon, partial visible in the screen capture above, has been changed in the final Beta. Since this is not the focus of this article, I did not see the need to create a new screen capture. I walked through the above steps in the final Beta and did not notice any other variation from the images shown. As always, you can click on any reduced image to see the full-size version; use the Back function of your browser to return to the main article.
