 From what I can see, the &amp;#39;Tasks&amp;#39; in previous verions of Microstation, are now replaced by the &amp;#39;Ribbon&amp;#39; interface/system.

&lt;p&gt;The above was helpful as I had minimised the ribbon and wanted to know how to get it back. I&amp;#39;m an architect and have been using V8i for several years, (I have been using microstation since 1998) it had a lot of key-board short cuts,so that if you pressed 1,2 3 etc it brought down menus and also certain keys such as H it deselected items. In powerdraft connect I don&amp;#39;t see this, which is a pity becaue it was quick. the ribbon thing is quite slow, and the tapping the spacebar is also a bit slow and only appears to work when the home menue is selected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m working on two monitors, so it is more an issue of getting to commands quickly, thatn having space on a laptop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

This allows you to Minimize The Ribbon. This should allow extra space at the top of the application window when working with a smaller display, like on a laptop or touchpad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/MinimizeRibbon.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/MinimizeRibbon.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All that will then be displayed is the Ribbon Tab titles for each of the Button Groups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/MinimizeMenu.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/MinimizeMenu.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You just need to click on any of these Ribbon Tab titles to expand them out to display all of the tools relating to those options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should be able to locate further information in the Help Documentation under Ribbon Controls.&lt;/p&gt;

Thanks for that. I missed that one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is good news!I was hoping that we could have BOTH the &amp;#39;traditional&amp;#39; Tasks, and the Ribbons.&lt;br /&gt; Why??????&lt;br /&gt; Take a Drawing Sheet, .... you can do this with a pdf, maximise it on the screen. You will see that when the Drawing then fills the screen from top to bottom, but there is still spare room to the left and right. Essentially, one would normally want to maximise the view of what you are working on, .... the Drawing. There is some spare room horizontally, but no spare room vertically.&lt;br /&gt; So what do we do, ..... lets put all the tools at the bottom and top of the screen, ..... where there isn&amp;#39;t any spare room, ..... whilst there is spare room to the left and right. One can only guess this was done because, ..... that&amp;#39;s how Microsoft Office does it.&lt;br /&gt; No offense to Microsoft, but they produce Office software, ..... not AEC design software, .... they don&amp;#39;t really deal with/cater for Drawings/A3/A1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This might not be so bad on a big monitor, but on a laptop this starts to become &amp;lsquo;restrictive&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt; Ideally, one would want some &amp;#39;standard&amp;#39; tools that are visible all the time (snaps, ACS picker, Locks, ....) the use the Ribbons to show the relevant tools for the particular work you are doing.&lt;br /&gt; I&amp;#39;ll investigate creating some custom toolbars and putting them to the left (or right if one desires). The Tasks approach was a very good way of grouping these together and maintaining some consistency.&lt;br /&gt; I guess one might put the &amp;#39;standard&amp;#39; tools in every Ribbon. This though would probably take up half the Ribbon and would reduce its effectiveness&lt;br /&gt; My 2p for now, ......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Tasks in Microstation Connect</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/337329?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2015 03:35:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a00a64f2-268a-46ff-a7d0-d6ba440f88ef</guid><dc:creator>Andrew Bell</dc:creator><description>The following announcement relating to the operation of Tasks within MicroStation CONNECT Edition explains that you can using the following configuration variable to reintroduce the options for the Task Menus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MS_TASKNAVIGATION_CONFIGURATION = 1&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This turns back on the Task Navigation option in Workspace Preferences. Here you can select Presentation to be Dialog, rather than Ribbon, which allows the old Tasks menus to display.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
