How to locate where my modified Accudraw shortcut keys are stored

Background

Accudraw Shortcut key-Ins are defined as Keyboard Shortcuts edited through the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog is opened using the Accudraw short cut key '?' or via File > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Steps to Locate

Changes made to the AccuDraw / Keyboard shortcuts are typically stored in the file :

C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\prefs\Personal.KeyboardShortcuts.xml

Thus these personal modifications do not affect other users.

To find the location and name of this file check the Variable MS_KEYBOARDSHORTCUTS by openning the Configuration Dialog ( File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables ) and in the Search area keyin that variable name MS_KEYBOARDSHORTCUTS, select the variable in the list and the path and file name will be displayed in the Expansion are of the Configuration Dialog.

 

Note your Site Administrator may have defined the variable MS_KEYBOARDSHORTCUTSSEED this can be used to point to a seed  KeyboardShortcuts.xml file containing the default keyboard shortcuts, this file is used to define the keyboard shortcuts if the file defined by MS_KEYBOARDSHORTCUTS is not found.
