CE - SpaceBar

Hi Ian,

Unknown said:

Has anyone come up with a good working example of the CE spacebar menu.

My experience is that the most of my customers use the default configuration, sometimes extended by a few extra tools, but have not seen completely redesigned spacebar popup in daily usage. But I have to say only a fraction of my customers migrated to CE, usually because of evaluating other apps like ORD or waiting for Bentley Map to migrate all installation together.

but there is much more I want from it

It's why "Ideas" forum exists ;-)

I want it to be user configurable  Add/Remove tools to suit my clients (Organization) or Project (Worksets) or users (Users) [user profile].

Because spacebar popup menu is only a special version of ribbon, stored and configured by dgnlib and related variables, I see no problem to have own menu for every installation (organization) workspace / workset.

I want to control the keyboard shorts ie 32 move not Spacebar W

I am not sure whether I understand your question right. You can configure shortcuts for popups separately from standard shortcuts. It will be always Spacebar + <something> and it has to reflect popup menu structure, but you can change Spacebar + W by e.g. Spacebar + 3 (if not conflicting with another existing shortcut).

I want other popup ie Shift Spacebar, Ctl Spacebar

As far as I know keyboard shortcuts, as an evolution of AccuDraw shortcuts, don't support key modifiers like Ctrl, Alt etc. And especially in the case of Spacebar, it will lead to conflicts:

• Alt + spacebar is Windows shortcut.
• Ctrl + spacebar is MicroStation PopSet shortcut.
• Shift + spacebar ... don't know ;-)

I want it to be model specific 3d tools, 2d tools Sheet /annotation tools etc

I am pretty sure it can be achieved using Visibility condition together with standard Named Expressions.

With regards,
