Removing ustation.dgnlib tasks from the taskbar.

Hi all,

I've created some project specific dgnlibs that house particular tasks for each type of project, and that wokrs perfectly.  However I want to disable some of the starndard tasks that get loaded in from the ustation.dgnlib, such as: Surface Modelling, Feature Modelling, Visualization, while keeping the imporatnt onces, like Drawing.  These unused tasks simply take up room within the task bar, and my operators will never use them in their projects.  I've noticed some of the example projects that come with v8i, have this very thing working, but I'm unsure how this is accomplished.

  • Hi Charlie,

    You can limit what Tasks are available by using a task root. So once this is defined you have 100% control over what Tasks are seen.

    To use this, you set the variable MS_GUITASKTREEROOT = "My Task Name". When you start MicroStation you will only see the contents of "My Task Name" on down.

    A related thing is the ability to copy and paste a Task as a reference. This allows you to set a root Task, and paste in the delivered Tasks you want. Because they are a reference, they will change when the original changes. To so this simply right click on a Task and select copy, then right click where you want to paste it and select Paste Task Refeerence.

     Hope this helps,

  • Gino,

    what paths does "Paste Task Reference" use? are they controlled by the pcf?

    Is it possible to have a set of library tasks in a central site dgnlib that is not invoked by MS_DGNLIBLIST and reference from that to multiple site or project dgnlibs?
