    DataGroup Keyins

      Product(s): Aecosim Building Designer V8i
      Version(s): 08.11.09.747
      Environment:  N/A
      Area:  DataGroup System
      Subarea:  N/A

    Problem

    Are there any keyins for the DataGroup System tools?

    Solution

    While using the DataGroup System there are keyins available as alternatives to each tool icon in the DataGroup System toolbox as well as tools unique to the Building Designer.

    These include:

    DataGroup Catalog Editor: dg defeditor

    Add Instance Data: dg add data

    Modify Instance Data: dgex modify data

    DataGroup System Validator: dg validate

    Refresh DataGroup System: dg refresh

    RFA Interpreter Wizard: tfpaell wizard

    DataGroup Definition Editor: dg defeditor

    There is also a simple workflow to determine whether a tool or command has an available keyin.

    1. Choose Utilities > Macro > Create BASIC Macro.

    2. Every action you perform from that moment on with be recorded until you hit the Stop button.

    3. Once you have finished recording your macro choose Utilities > Macro > MicroStation BASIC.

    4. Choose the Macro you just created and click the Edit button. If there is a keyin available you will see text similar to:

    "Send a keyin that can be a command string

    MbeSendKeyin "DG DEFEDITOR""
