Custom menu locations

I have customizations that have evolved over the years. I wanted to add and remove some buttons. I haven't done this in a while and need a little information.

I saw that a button in the 1-JDJ task in Microstation (left image) that DIDN'T look the same as the Tasks in Microstation "Customize" (RED BOX, right image). Does anyone know what the difference between the two is?BTW, Most of these customizations started in XM or earlier.

One last thing, is there a way to get 1-JDJ from TASKS (in "Customize") over to the v8i User Tools (BLUE ELLIPSE/LINE)

Thank you

  • I think display of the IntelliTrim tool has been turned off in the Toolbox. Right-click on the 1-JDJ task, pick open 1-JDJ as Toolbox. Right-click on the Toolbox and turn on IntelliTrim (this should be user specific and stored in your .UPF)

    The workflow for tool creation is (obviously) to create user tools on the left.

    The most straightforward way to create Tasks is to create a Toolbox on the left, create the tools inside that toolbox, then drag that Toolbox into the User Tasks.

    You cannot drag a Task back to User Tools.
