Hi,

I have developed a SOLIDWORKS add-in.

Currently my add-in icon appears in the Task Pane. I am now adding CommandManager integration.

I can successfully create commands and place them in the CommandManager. My add-in currently has only one main command, so creating a dedicated CommandManager tab seems excessive.

Instead of creating a separate tab for my add-in, I am considering placing the button in an existing CommandManager tab (for example Features, Evaluate, Tools, etc.), or at least somewhere on the CommandManager without requiring users to switch to a dedicated tab.

From a SOLIDWORKS UI/UX and API best-practice perspective:

1. Is it recommended to create a dedicated Add-in tab even if the add-in has only one command?
2. Can an add-in safely add buttons to existing SOLIDWORKS tabs?
3. Are there any SOLIDWORKS certification, usability, or API guidelines regarding CommandManager placement for third-party add-ins?
4. What approach do commercial SOLIDWORKS add-ins typically follow?

I would appreciate examples from existing add-ins and any guidance on recommended UI integration patterns.

Thanks.
