Extend Ribbon
The Extend Ribbon provides facilities to enable and access Add-In technologies (extensions written in COM) that interact with the Enterprise Architect user interface to extend and specialize the product's capabilities. When an Add-In is added to Enterprise Architect, either by inclusion with the installer or by subsequently importing into Enterprise Architect, it can be assigned to the particular area of functionality that it supports (using the EA_GetRibbonCategory function), and is represented by an icon in an 'Add-In' panel in the appropriate Ribbon. Icons for unassigned Add-Ins are shown on this Extend Ribbon.
The contents of this Ribbon therefore depend on what Add-Ins you have installed and enabled, and whether they have been assigned to a particular functional area of Enterprise Architect. In this illustration of the Ribbon, there is an 'Add-In' panel that gives access to UAF/UPDM and Zachman Framework as 'unassigned' Add-Ins. If these had been assigned, the Ribbon would not include an 'Add-In' panel.
