Ribbon Context

The options that are enabled on a ribbon will depend on the current (Vizex layer, editor, or function) context. Whether a ribbon is visible at all may also depend on the context; however you can Pin a ribbon so that it is always visible irrespective of the context.

Pin

Click the Pin icon to display the ribbon even when it is out-of-context (in other words, the Vizex layer or the editor or function it relates to loses focus or is closed). The ribbon will be displayed until you either click the icon again to unpin it, or Close it.

Close

Toggle the Pin button to close the ribbon. The ribbon is displayed automatically when it is in-context (in other words, the Vizex layer it relates to is opened as the active layer, or the editor or function it relates to is opened).

Click the Close button to close the ribbon. The ribbon is displayed automatically when it is in-context (in other words, the Vizex layer it relates to is opened as the active layer, or the editor or function it relates to is opened).
