Task Customisation

Question

Being new to ABD, Please can someone instruct me on how to add the animation tool set(settings, actors, cameras and schedule simulation) to my task panel. My ABD doesnt seem to point to any dgnlib file as they are all greyed out in the customisation dialog and moreover i can't find any ustation dgnlib file which usually hosts the customisation for Microstation. Is ABD customisation procedure differently from that of MS.

I think Henry's question is more about how to make the change in ABD, whose Task Bar acts a little differently from Microstation's. To make changes to the ABD Task Bar, you need to open CombinedInterface.dgnlib, which is found in your installation folder under /interfaces/ Once you have that file open, click Workspace > Customize, then open the Tasks panel in the upper right. You'll find the ABD task bar in CombinedInterface.dgnlib under a folder called Building Designer Tasks. Farther down the list is GUI.dgnlib, which contains the Task Bar for Microstation. You can copy/paste any tabs that you want out of there. When you open any other file, you should see your changes applied. I hope that helps!
