    Function Keys not working

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: V8, XM, V8i, CONNECT
      Environment: N\A
      Area: UI Customization
      Subarea: Function Keys

    Problem Description

    My Function Keys are not working?

    Steps to Resolve

    Check that MicroStation/PowerDraft is configured correctly so it can find the funckey.mnu file.

    1. Function key menus are specified with the "MS_FKEYMENU" configuration variable.
        The default configuration path is:   C:\Programs\Bentley\Workspace\Interface\fkeys\funckey.mnu

    2. If that is not defined, it MicroStation/PowerDraft looks for a file called "funckey.mnu" in MS_DATA.

    You can also check if another application does not override the function keys assignments. Some applications, such as screenshot and video capture programmes, can have activated by default the setting to override any other hotkey assignment.
