Hi Cezar!

The MS_MAINMENUDOCKINGBESIDE variable is to give you docking space along side of the pull-down menu (after Help) where you can dock toolbars. It has nothing to do with Task Menu docking.

From the Help area of the Configuration dialog:

If set to a non-zero value, tool boxes and dockable dialogs may be docked alongside the main menu bar. If not set (default) or set to 0, MicroStation's main menu bar spans the entire width of the application window.

The Task Menu docking can be docked to either side and small indicator icons will appear that will allow the Task Menu to be Docked to the side, Docked side-by-side or Tabbed (also options for Above or Below existing Docked dialogs). See attached image.

It's working now.

Thanks Todd

You should be able to drag your task menu to the side of the view. You should see a little box popup hover the task menu over that box and tasks should appear gray along side of view. Then drop the task menu and Save Settings this should retain your task menu setting. If your settings are not being saved make sure your upf and docking.xml files have read/write access. You may try renaming the upf and docking.xml files to .old. MicroStation will create new files. See if you can now save settings.

See this forum which has a video included.
