    How To Reset Keyboard Shortcuts to Factory Default

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: CONNECT
      Environment: Windows 10
      Area: Configuration
      Subarea: User Preferences

    Problem

    In MicroStation CONNECT Edition, I need to reset my keyboard shortcuts to factory defaults.

    Solution

    1. Close out of MicroStation CONNECT completely
    2. Open Windows File Explorer. Toggle ON the "File name extensions" and "Hidden items" (View tab>Show/hide ribbon group)

    3. Within Windows File Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\<user.name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\prefs
    4. Rename the file "Personal.KeyboardShortcuts.xml" to "Personal.KeyboardShortcuts.xml.old"


    5. Open MicroStation CONNECT again - the keyboard shortcuts should now be back to factory defaults. Creating and applying new keyboard shortcuts will autogenerate a new "Personal.KeyboardShortcuts.xml" file within the same file pathway
