Problem

IP IPLOT in menu--How to prevent IPLOT from inserting the "IPLOT..." choice in MicroStation's file menu? This option is sometimes used by customers to front-end the IPLOT dialog with their own code (for example to collect accounting-related information). Customer puts his own item in that menu called "IPLOT..." ... When that menu option is selected, customer's code runs and the custom dialog is posted. Then when customer code finishes, and the user exits from customer dialog, then queue the "iplot" command into MicroStation's command queue and then the normal IPLOT dialog will come up.

 

Solution

In the iplot.cfg file, add this line:
IPLOT_DLOG_MENU_INSERT = false
