CCSv6 CCS Debug perspective: cannot add Build Project icon

In previous versions, I was able to add the Build Properties icon to the icon ribbon in the CCS Debug perspective. This is very convenient for cases where I make small changes to the code, then need to re-build it. When it builds successfully, the re-load is automatic, so it is very simple to keep the debug session running well.

But when I try to add this icon to the CCS Debug perspective, I get the following:

1. I can add it to the ribbon, but then I have two copies of the Build hammer icon in the CCS Edit perspective.
2. When I try to fix the CCS Edit perspective, or just deselect & select the icon in Customize Perspective, both hammer icons disappear. One will come back to the CCS Edit ribbon later, after changing perspectives.
3. In the CCS Debug perspective, the option to add the hammer is greyed-out. If I click to select it anyway, a box pops up saying '"Code Composer Studio Project Build" cannot be made visible because all of its children are in unavailable command groups.'

Is there any way to put a build icon in the CCS Debug perspective in CCSv6?

Regards,
RandyP

    Randy,

    It does seem to be possible as I have  it setup now.  I also saw the issue with 2 build buttons.  I am going to try another workspace to make sure I can reproduce the steps.

    Ok.  This time I managed to get it working without the double button.

    Go to your debug perspective.

    Window -> Customize Perspective

    Select the command group tab.

    Make the selection below.

    John,

    Thanks for the answers back. I was also able to get it to work with exactly one button on each perspective.

    Oddly, there are three (3) places where you can choose this Build button:

    The circles were supposed to be colored better, but I guess I am as good at Paint as I am at CCS customization.

    Originally, I was checking the Build Configuration box in the small red circle in the upper left of the Customize dialog. This gave me one hammer where the blue circle is, and two on the CCS Edit perspective.

    When I went to try your suggestion, I noticed you were sending me farther down in the "Available command groups" list. And I noticed there are two identical line items for "Code Composer Studio Project Build". The second one was already checked, so I swapped them, sort of matching what you said to do. This puts the hammer farther to the right as shown above in the red circle.

    What are the differences between these three different check boxes, especially between the two identical ones? It would be nice to know those, but thanks for answering the real question and getting me this prized icon.

    Regards,
    Randy
