I have been setting up a corporate workspace for MS & ORD and really like how CONNECT will copy the various seed files either upon startup, or when necessary (such as customizing the ribbon for the dgnlib). However, I am not seeing this behavior for the button menus. I have verified the seed var is correct and if I make changes to the commands/assignments, they are saved. I don't know where they are being saved because the user button menu is not copied down.
Is this a bug, or am I just doing something wrong?
By the way, this is Update 9.
TIA,
Mike
What version of MicroStation CONNECT are you running?
I found this problem with some of the seed variables in earlier releases, but have not gotten back to testing it out again since Update 3.

Mike when you say "button menus" what specifically are you referring to.
There are Button Assignments (ex. Alt+Data for match attributes), Context menu that is connected to the right mouse button click and hold. There are also popup screen menus that can be connected to buttons.
The two variables you should take a look at are MS_BUTTONMENUSEED and MS_BUTONMENU.
MS_BUTTONMENUSEED is only used if no menu file is found as defined by MS_BUTTONMENU. You may have to delete the file pointed to by MS_BUTTONMENU for the seed file to be used.
You can find an explanation regarding the variables in the following article:

Yes. Those are the two. They are defined and verified. I understand the seed is used when the user doesn't modify them, but once the user does modify, the seed file isn't being used to create the new one. I saw this behavior in the personal dgnlib, but found a typo that was causing the issue. This prompted me to verify the two for the button menus.
Mike, I am talking about the .btnmnu file.
