I have seen several topics about this on the forums, but have not been able to resolve the issue following their advice (so I apologize if I'm asking the same question that's been asked many times before).
I just switched to MicroStation Connect from v8i and I am struggling to get my bearings with keyboard shortcuts. In particular, the things I found most useful in v8i were:
Q opened the drawing menu, then for example Q1 would place a smart line.
2 would open a fence menu. 21 would allow for placing a fence, etc.
3 opened a manipulate menu, with 31 as copy, 32 as move, 33 as scale, 34 as rotate, 35 as mirror, 36 as array, 39 move parallel, etc.
61 was drop element
7 was the modify menu, with 71 as modify element, 72 as break element, 73 extend line, etc.
Is there a way to set up these shortcuts in Connect edition? The advice I have seen is to enable "Use Position Mapping" in the Preferences menu, but this hasn't made a difference.
Any advice? Thank you!!
Robert
This will be addressed in the update 13 due out within 2 - 3 weeks (maybe). However, if you want to do it now. Add this VAR to one of your CFG files (personal.cfg, organisation.cfg or a workset.cfg file
MS_TASKNAVIGATION_CONFIGURATION = 1

Hey! With the new Connect update there is no Task Navigation option in the user preferences. Do you think the v8I shortcuts are no more??
According to this very same thread, that is going to be addressed in Update 13.
You may be able to look at the Wiki mentioned in this very same thread, and try out the configuration variable also mentioned in this very same thread.

Hi Mary, I have the latest version of connect, is there an updated wiki that will help me set up the key shortcuts from v8i?
The following Wiki article should be of assistance in understanding how to get these operational in MicroStation CONNECT Edition.
