I would like to add a custom tool to the Standard tool box. I know how to make custom tools/boxes, but is it possible to customize MicroStation's "Application Tools" tool boxes?
I have created my own custom Standard tool box, which is a copy of all the tools from that Standard tool box plus my custom tools, but now the status bar prompts (bottom left corner) for standard tools like NEW (create drawing) change from "Create Design File" to "Custom Tool" and I would prefer the original prompts. Perhaps there is a key-in to update the prompt?
Hi,
try adding the following variable:
MS_DEFAULT_MAINTASKPATH = <custom toolbar name>
Let's say your toolbar in your configured dgnlib is called "JJ_Tools", the syntax would be:
MS_DEFAULT_MAINTASKPATH = JJ_Tools.
Regards,
Marco

I discovered that how you paste the copy of a tool makes a difference. The undesirable behavior described was the result of a standard copy/paste. To maintain all of the aspects of the original tool it appears that you need to copy and then right click the destination tool box and select "Paste Tool Reference".
