Ribbons

AseptSoft integrates with AutoCAD through a series of Ribbon Tabs that appear alongside the native AutoCAD ribbons. Each ribbon appears contextually based on what you are doing — so you always have the right tools at hand without clutter.

🗂️ Ribbon Overview

🔄 How Ribbons Work Together

A typical workflow moves through these ribbons in sequence:

1. 🔌 AddIn Ribbon — Log in, check subscription, configure activation settings

2. 🏠 Home Ribbon — Select your branch, create or open a module

3. ⚙️ Module Ribbon — Perform all process design work (this is where you spend most of your time)

4. 🔧 Equipment Module Ribbon — Appears contextually when you select equipment module items

5. 📋 Review Session Ribbon — Open from Module Data to start a collaborative review

Each ribbon is described in detail on its own page.

🏭 Pharma Workflow Example

Imagine you are designing a CIP (Clean-in-Place) sequence for a bioreactor skid:

1. Open your CIP P&ID drawing — the Home Ribbon appears automatically.

2. Select the branch your team is working on, then open the CIP module.

3. The Module Ribbon takes over — define your rinse, wash, and final rinse steps; assign valve states; run fluid flow simulations to verify the cleaning path.

4. Click on the CIP supply pump to view the Equipment Module Ribbon and manage its configuration.

5. When the design is ready, start a Review Session so your process engineer and QA lead can validate every step before release.
