    Default Ribbon Magic - Swap out a drop-down

    I'd like to swap-out a drop down for another drop-down in a Ribbon Panel.
    Can it be done with out of the box functionality? If so, how?

    In CUI Editor, navigate to the desired Drop Down, Right Click, Copy, navigate to the undesired Drop Down, Right Click, Paste (deleting the undesired Drop Down, of course)?

    Well, you did answer my question. What I was looking for however was to build this behavior into the ribbon such that the end user would pick one of three values. A related drop-down would dynamically change to a different list.

    You're welcome; that is additional information not provided in your original question.

    In order to dynamically update a given Drop Down RibbonButton, based upon another 'mode' or 'setting', yes - that would most easily be accomplished via code, specifically .NET/ARX API.

    Sounds like you're wanting to have two RibbonPanel components, one to provide a Drop Down for the 'mode' setting, and the other to dynamically update based upon the 'mode's' current value... Something which, at minimum would require Contextual Ribbon rules, if not full on API interaction with RibbonControl.
