Is it possible to run a keyin at startup? I saw this AskInga article from 2002 that says one can create a txt file and then point the icon properties to it but I imagine that's pretty out of date by now?
It is also possible to use MS BASIC macro as autostart.
MS_DGNAPPS > RUNMACRO
MS_DGNMACROS = autostart.bas
2.Then create autostart.bas under Project\macros
3. Edit Autostart.bas and add key ins with command MbeSendKeyin followed by key-in enclosed in qoutes
MbeSendKeyin "set nodes off"
Now each time a file is opened the macro will run. Keep in mind that this soon will be outdated also because in newer versions MS BASIC support could be dropped.
What format would work in V8i Select series 10 nowadays? I'm looking to do exactly that.
The link below to a VBA macro is absolutely viable (I do this).I imagine that for V8i, the link to running commands would still work as well.

It's best practice to start a new post and reference this old post. The vba may need some updating to run in SS10
Microstation CONNECT 10.17.00.209
ORD CONNECT 2021 R1 10.10.1.3
Microstation v8i SS 10 08.11.09.919
Power InRoads v8i 08.11.09.615

I'm using Select Series 10 version 08.11.09.829.. I'm trying to attach a reference using, MbeSendKeyin "rf=REF_LOCATION:mylarb.3d,,,,,"
This command works as a key in. I have the autostart.bas in the macro folder with the above command. I have the above parameters written in my ucf file. Not sure why its giving me a syntax compilation error, unless there is another syntax format for this .bas in my version.
