How to Customize V8i menus in CONNECT Edition?


 Product(s):MicroStation
 Version(s):CONNECT
 Environment:N\A
 Area:GUI
 Subarea:Ribbon

Background

This CONNECT Edition has a Ribbon now, so this version has no pulldown menus anymore.

The ribbon tabs and the ribbon backstage should provide access to all of the commands that were available in the menu in older versions of MicroStation.

Steps to Accomplish

If your Dgnlib is defined in MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST variable:

  1. open Customize Ribbon
  2. select Menu Customizations in the combo box labels "Choose components from", custom menu items should be listed.
  3. it is then possible to then drag/add these items into the ribbon as buttons.

Please have a look at the video below if you want to create a customized ribbon from scratch:

Note

You can also open any DGNLIB that is in the MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST, and any customizations will be stored in that DGNLIB file. The DGNLIB where the customizations are stored is shown in the title bar of the "Customize Ribbon" dialog.

MS_PERSONALDGNLIB is used when any DGN/DWG file is open, this variable points to personal.dgnlib in the same folder as your upf file.
