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from 2002 that says one can create a txt file and then point the icon properties to it but I imagine that's pretty out of date by now?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'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
ProjectWise 10.0.3.453
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.
Oto said:It is also possible to use MS BASIC macro as autostart
MicroStation BASIC is obsolete. It is not included with MicroStation CONNECT.

Prefer to use VBA. Your key-in will continue to be useful with MicroStation CONNECT...
VBA EXECUTE CadInputQueue.SendKeyin "rf=REF_LOCATION:mylarb.3d,,,,,"

Bam! thanks Jon, i tried cadinputqueue but forgot the VBA execute part. lol. I'm not very savvy with vba, but, i just need to acclimate to it, theres so much more versatility.
