    Attach a command menu to the digitizer

    Problem

    Attaching a command menu - User needs to attach a command
    menu to the digitizer to more quickly access MicroStation tools
    and commands.

    Version: 08.05.01.25
    Product: MicroStation V8 2004 Edition
    Area: Hardware / Input Devices



    Solution

    User will need the following things:
    Digitizer Tablet attached to computer with proper drivers installed.
    Cell library containing the desired menu.
    Printout of the menu taped down to the desired location on the
    digitizer tablet.

    To attach:
    1. Open MicroStation and activate the key in browser.
    2. Key-in appropriate AM command. On Bentley's delivered
        menus, the command is printed on the menu itself.
        In J, the syntax goes like this:
        AM=,cm

        For instance, the delivered menu called 55menu would be
        attached with this command:
        AM=55menu,cm

        In V8, the standard delivered menu is attached with this
        command:
        AM=V8menu,command,t1

        When the Enter button is pressed, the user will be prompted
        to enter the lower left and upper right corner of the menu.
        This sets the digitizer coordinates for each command. Once the
        upper right corner is entered, the message "menu successfully
        attached" should appear.

    3. Configure a "command" button on the digitizer puck. After
        deciding what button to use, set it in the driver's button
        assignment window to "Application Defined Function". Then go
        into Workspace > Button Assignments in MicroStation, click the
        "command" line to highlight it, put the screen cursor in the Button
        Definition Area at the bottom of the dialog and press the button
        previously picked.

    4. Place the crosshairs of the cursor over the desired command
        on the menu and press the command button. The tool selected
        should appear on the screen.
