Good morning folks, hope everyone is well. Thank you very much for your support over the past 6 months. I appreciate your time.
Version: V8i [SELECTseries 10)
Making my ribbon look more like AutoCad
I am having an issue accessing the quick access toolbar, and customizing the ribbon to look more like Auto Cad.
Any assistance would be great, at your convenience.
Thank you.

Hi John,

MicroStation V8i does not use ribbon, so it is not clear what product and version do you use, whether really V8i (that does not use ribbon) or some CONNECT Edition version (with ribbon GUI).
Please follow the best practices and specify used product and exact version (e.g. using the product build number).

Sorry, but it provides no useful information, that can be used for further analysis. What issue do you have? Can you share picture, video or anything else, that in detail describes what do you want to achieve ("more like AutoCAD" tells nothing, when you do not know AutoCAD) and what problem you have?
Regards,
Jan

why make Connect look more like autocad when it already looks too much like autocad with that hideous ribbon and dark theme more like dark side yuck!
Its microstation not autocad ... you want autocad then use autocad... just kidding .... but now that I have used the A word in a microstation forum I feel dirty...

The question isn't about CONNECT. The OP has stated that he's using V8i [SELECTseries 10).

You can make a cat look like a pig, but you won't get any bacon. Just use Autocad.
Microstation already looks too much like, has too many features mimicking, Autocrap.
They tell us v8i will be over soon, so we need to focus on getting Connect to actually work well. Bentley has been focusing on attracting Autodesk users for too long. Neglect of all us long time Bentley CAD users has become endemic.

If you are using MicroStation Connect update 15, then you can set the workflow to General and that is pretty close to ACAD. It was added to support the ACAD users. Other than that, you would have to customize your interface to get closer. From the Help documentation:
You can now take advantage of a MicroStation user interface that is similar to AutoCAD when you open a DWG or DGN file. You can do so using the new "General" workflow. You can access this from the Workflows drop-down menu in the Ribbon. Once you open this workflow, the MicroStation UI emulates the AutoCAD UI to display tabs and tools similar to AutoCAD user interface in the Ribbon.
