The V8i Tasks dialog is empty


 Product:MicroStation
 Version:CONNECT, 2023
 Environment:N\A
 Area:Configuration
 Subarea:User Preferences

Problem

The commands listed in the V8i Task dialog are no longer visible.

Solution

Verify whether the path specified by the variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST points to the dgnlib file (V8iTasks.dgnlib).

The default path for V8iTasks.dgnlib is:

C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation 2023\MicroStation\Default\GUI\Archive\en

If the MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST variable has been properly set,  it might be worth trying to Reset the User Prefs directory.

Resetting MicroStation's preference data will reset the customized tools/menu layout as well as the user preferences set in several menus (DWG save options, Personal Preferences menu, etc.) to factory default settings. 

Remember to create a backup of your Pref folder in case this process does not solve the issue.
