Could Openroads Designer display side toolbar just like Power Civil? I am not quite familiar with the ribbon interface on ORD, so I want to change back to side toolbar just like what Power Civil looks. See below picture. Some of our customers have the same question.
I searched similar questions, and found that V8i style Tasks could be displayed in MicroStation CONNECT Edition using the configuration variable MS TASKNAVIGATION CONFIGURATION.
The website is: https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/24481/how-to-display-the-v8i-style-tasks-dialog-in-microstation-connect-edition
And I tried this method on ORD but it did not work. Maybe there is other configuration variable that we could change in order to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help!
Hi all,
Has anyone had any luck setting up some ORD tasks or even just the Microstation ones as per SS4? Although trying to avoid it and get used to the ribbon, would be good to have say the drawing (CAD) tools as tasks, etc.
Regards,

I tried setting this up many version ago. The problem I found was that it caused some workflows to be hidden. I reported this and it was recognized as a defect, but when others tried in later releases, it was still broken. I posted follow-up questions after each release but no one ever replied that the defect was finally fixed, so I stopped worrying about it for now.
IMHO, the task menus are extremely useful for localized customizations and make the interface more "universal" for dual cad users (Autodesk & Bentley) and should be maintained for that reason, among others.
