Question

HI! 
 
 We have son old user command files and haven't any resen to change them because they use simple key-in command and MSG. We upgraded from Aecosim Building designer Connect update 4 to Open Building designer update 5 and now the MSG in our user command files stop working. 
 Is there any way to display messages in status bar "CF>PR" feld whit UC? or do we need to change code language( upgrading the commands to VBA)? 
 A copy of one of the simpel UC files 
 ; MSG ' SF = Change all ' MSG ' PR = BETONG: Konturlinje, genomskuren ' 
 KEY ' LV=K01 ' KEY ' WT=bylevel ' KEY ' LC=bylevel ' KEY ' CO=bylevel ' END

Hi Sebastian, 
 UCM's started to be phased out in 2004, when we recommended migration to either MicroStation Macros or to VBA. At this point MicroStation Macros are the obsolescent technology so we would recommend using VBA. You can record simple VBA macros as a base to work with. We include extensions to VBA that support Bentley functions including messages in the status bar. There are many discussions on the topic in the forums and you can also search for training material via CONNECT Advisor.
