Migration and migraines need help

It looks like I am being forced into migrating to CE and windows 10. Neither are my favorite.

I find ce to be non productive but it’s time to teach this old dog new tricks. But forget they keyboard shortcuts not interested

im a one man shop I don’t need micro stations workspace to be as difficult as it is. I want the same setting for each project 

I only need folders set up for each project just like v8 .less is more. I’m sure I’ll change my mind but for now I want it easy.

next I need to simplify the menu

1 they take up way to much screen space

2 there are too many mouse clicks or keystrokes.

 I customized my main menu bar in v8ss and would like to implement these customizations and collapse the  new ribbon.

My customizations were like the old bar menu.ma 

how do I get these into ce

i also customized my shift tentative and right click button menus I need to import these

  • I'm doing pretty much the same as you. I've set up one workspace and one workset for each client. My settings files are on the c drive, dgns on the d drive, one set of folders for each. The other issue, the gui, I can only recommend you adjust to the "new way". I've had to do this 6 or 7 times over the years. I recommend the Task Navigation ribbon with a few custom add ons for commands that aren't there. There is a button upper right that will hide the thing (it sort of works).

    I agree with everything Lorys says, but I have taken the opposite approach, anticipating Bentley will eventually force us all onto Connect. It's buggy as a week old slice of fruit, but somehow I manage to get my work done. You will be able to migrate much of the ui from v8i, but I would resist the temptation to try and make it look exactly like v8i.

  • Ryan wouldn’t you think Bentley would make microstation more productive. When powerdraft 1st came out Bentley bragged about fewer mouse clicks  and keystrokes then autocad. Auto ads shortcut Kevin’s make so much more sense. I hate autocad. I doubt that is the case now with either microstation or powerdraft. Bentley needs someone in production involved with programming. And not a ex government employee.
