I have created a task named Structures Main.
What key-ins would allow me to open this as a task and as a toolbox?
As a task, you could use the following key-in commands for your convenience.
customize open toolbox \\Structures Maincustomize open toolboxasmenu \\Structures Main
As a toolbox, you could use the following key-in.
customize open toolbox Structures Main
Is there a way to open a second task panel with these tasks via keyin?

Hi Chuck,

What do you mean by "second task panel"? To have the task dialog displayed twice?
MicroStation does not offer such feature.

I believe that if one loaded the AEC Workspace from the US Army Corps of Engineers that used Tasks, you could open multiple task panels. But that was a few versions and jobs ago...

I have to correct my previous answer.
It's possible to have more tasks dialogs opened, but there are some limitations:
I knew there was something. I had made some notes on these back at those previous jobs, but when you change jobs, some of those get left behind.
I really like the Task panel and find it annoying that in the Open Roads Designer product, enabling tasks breaks part of its interface and this "defect" has never been fixed.
In a world where many Civil 3D users also have to be Bentley Civil users, the ribbon with tasks presents a very similar interface for both products. I think that's a plus that should not be overlooked.
