Migrating custom menus from MicroStation V8i to MicroStation CONNECT Edition
You can easily migrate customizations such as Custom Tools, Toolboxes, Tasks, Main Tasks, and Legacy Menu customizations created in previous versions of MicroStation to the ribbon. These custom tasks and toolboxes can be converted to groups in the ribbon. The tools within the custom tasks and toolboxes are retained in the groups.
Make sure any .dgnlib files that contain the customizations to be imported into the ribbon are specified in configuration variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST.
Keep in mind if you define this variable by going to Workspace Configuration this will define your menu items for all workspaces. This may or may not be the desired result that you want. You will first need to create a new Workspace and possibly a new WorkSet.
