Hi David, only the person who originally submitted the "question" forum thread can verify an answer to their thread, plus moderators and administrators at Bentley. In this case, the original poster is Robert Doumas. I went ahead and verified Andrew's answer. Apologies for the confusion!

Andrew, I would be happy to do that, but when I click on “more”, the only option I get is “report as abusive”!

Sorry!

The following Wiki article should be of assistance in understanding how to get these operational in MicroStation CONNECT Edition.

I have the latest version of connect, is there an updated wiki that will help me set up the key shortcuts from v8i?

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.

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??

Hi Robert,

Can you elaborate how to add a VAR to my CFG file? I would also like to try adding the MS_TASKNAVIGATION_CONFIGURATION = 1

This is so great! Thank you very much.

To enable the task navigation menu, I then went to File>Settings>User>Preferences>Task Navigation and switched it to Presentation: Dialog.

This makes things much much easier.

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
