 This ribbon interface is completly unproductive and it takes too much of the screen. We really don&amp;#39;t understand why software are made with ribbons &amp;quot;menu&amp;quot; when there</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: how to bring back menu and toolbars from v8 or v8i?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/408237?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Apr 2017 09:00:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d1b03ba0-b893-484b-ae7e-630192accd77</guid><dc:creator>Lorys</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Bill Brown&amp;quot;]Although the layout of the tools on the Ribbon may take some getting used to, that&amp;#39;s not the main problem.

&lt;p&gt;Me too...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even in V8i but with windows 7 &amp;nbsp;and sony &amp;nbsp;36&amp;quot; bravia tv / monitor I found I had to move the windows taskbar to the rhs or msnt just didnt give me full screen correct ratio especially &amp;nbsp;reading the message centre...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: how to bring back menu and toolbars from v8 or v8i?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/408145?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Apr 2017 13:08:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a52a2702-e925-4e19-b995-9fdedfd4002b</guid><dc:creator>Bill Brown</dc:creator><description>Although the layout of the tools on the Ribbon may take some getting used to, that&amp;#39;s not the main problem.

&lt;p&gt;and while were at it &amp;nbsp;why not &amp;nbsp;get rid of every tool bar and ribbon and go back to the digitisor tablet with puck and heaps of &amp;nbsp;menus...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or &amp;nbsp;one of those awesome &amp;nbsp;XButton pads with all the commands programmed in several buttons..a bit pricey &amp;nbsp;but if you use it alot its worth the cost in time saved....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I saw something on the web that let you connect a second &amp;nbsp;keyboard and &amp;nbsp;reprogram at least all the &amp;nbsp;F keys and combos, in addition to the existing keyboard .. came with a &amp;nbsp;program to make stickers to relabel the keys ... I think you could reprogram every key &amp;nbsp;on the 2nd keyboard tool .. for those of use poorer types you can buy an extra number key pad looks like it was cut off from rhs of normal keyboard... these tend to be &amp;nbsp;used by programmers and data entry in the old days... but they are now again popular and an worked with microstation v8i didnt try connect &amp;nbsp;if you run another mapping keyboard tool... i experimented with this last year &amp;nbsp;using two usb normal keyboards .. not bad &amp;nbsp; but no room on my &amp;nbsp;home desk and no stickers ... the program instructions suggested printing to Avery adhesive sheet and finishing &amp;nbsp;with clear contact paper before you cut out the key labels...FYI &amp;nbsp;the program was free ... I&amp;#39;ll have to trawl through my downloads and emails but it would be fast using &amp;nbsp;google..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you find it &amp;nbsp;start a new post / thread Like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No ribbons for me... or &amp;nbsp;How to use 2 keyboards..with menus.... should be very &amp;nbsp;popular with would be connect users!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;all your questions (including why) were discussed in MicroStation and MicroStation CONNECT Edition Early Access forums many times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Daniel Banu&amp;quot;]How do i bring back the menu and toolbars that are in v8 or v8i to microstation connect?[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Menus are not supported in CONNECT Edition, so they cannot be returned back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are several wiki articles how to migrate customizations like tasks and toolbars from V8i dgnlibs to CONNECT Edition dgnlibs available, I recommend e.g. &lt;a href="/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/25797.how-to-migrate-old-customizations-to-the-ribbon" target="_blank"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Jan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
