    Using different keyboard shortcut seeds for AECOsim Building designer and AECOsim MicroStation mode

      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): 10.03.00.40
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Configuration
      Subarea:

    Overview

    How to edit the keyboard shortcuts that I've created and set them as the seed file with MS_KEYBOARDSHORTCUTSSEED. How to get different seed files for when using AECOsim Building Designer or AECOsim MicroStation mode. Is there a way to accomplish this? (Note that both variations are reading from the same *.cfg file)

    Method

    By adding the following statement to standards.cfg :

    %if $(BB_DISCIPLINE) == "MicroStation"
    MYVAR = MicroStationDesignerModeActive
    %else
    MYVAR = BuildingDesignerModeActive
    %endif

    We can find the test values appearing in MicroStation and AECOsim Building Designer modes respectively.

    Once we have them appearing correctly, we can then substitute the appropriate MS_KEYBOARDSHORTCUTSSEED statements, each one directing to the appropriate seed file.

    The first line is a logical test that asks if the value of BB_DISCIPLINE is "MicroStation" (the quotation marks are part of the syntax).

    If true then the first value of MYVAR is applied, if not the second (else) value is applied.

    To be really thorough a first line could be added:

    MYVAR= DefaultValue

    This tests that MYVAR is set to an initial value that can then be seen to be changed.
