Hello
I'm adjusting the ribbon in microstation connect and would like to make my own attributes and primary groups, and not use the preset ones. The problem then is the shortcuts. Because in preferences - position mapping I have attributes & primary positions as default; A & S, but when I make my own Attributes and primary group they are treated just like any other group. That means that the shortcuts gets kind of messed up when I have/dont have those groups in different tabs. I want my own to be treated just like the attributes or primary group should be, but customize it myself. Is there a way to do this?

Unknown said:I can't pin it, don't know what I'm doing wrong, but we need the shortcuts (or what we should call it) for them anyway, so that won't be a solution anyway.
To pin the Main group do the following:
1. swtich to the task navigation workflow
2. right click on any element within the Main group
3. a menu should pop up go to pin/unpin group --> pin to all workflows
Unknown said:do you mean put a / before it? It seems I can't do that because it's not a standard key on my keyboard, (it's shift + 7). English keyboards has it as a standard key, right?
Yes I used the "/" character just as a place holder, I just picked a key that most likely would not be used.
Ok, thanks. I'm gonna have to look closer into that another time.
Unknown said:Can I put that in the same .DGNlib-file as my ribbon?
Not at all. They are native part of MicroStation input system and as such not related specifically to ribbon or DGNLIB. ... and it's the reason why I treat Position Mapping as "backward compatibility evil", because when PM is active, it hides the shortcuts and overrides them with another system.
I recommend to read Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts in an XML File chapter in MicroStation help, it describes how the shortcuts are stored and configured.
With regards,

Post the new question! This is very different topic from the original one and moreover it's lost inside lengthy discussion, so nobody will realize you are asking for help with different issue.
Regards,
Do you also know why we can't use numbers at first level for our shortcuts? See mine and Jan's discussion further down? That would make all this a none problem, at least for me.
