How to add the View Control short-cut on long right click to your workspace?

I tried the following and I still do not see the menu.

I am on version 10.03.00.43 OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition.

Answer:

The View Control uses a custom macro that must be part of your active workspace. In the
default installation, the macro is located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer
CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards -
Imperial\Macros\ViewSet.mvba. You can copy that to your workspace and set the
MS_VBAAUTOLOADPROJECTS configuration variable to load it automatically.

    Let's say you were using the metric workspace then you would also need to make sure that you have the dgnlib for the menu:

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Metric\Dgnlib\GUI\Custom_Menu.dgnlib

    and the following file

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Metric.cfg

    would need this config variable set

    MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST                        > $(CIVIL_ORGANIZATION_STANDARDS)Dgnlib/GUI/*.dgnlib

    This is in addition to needing

    MS_VBAAUTOLOADPROJECTS                  > $(CIVIL_ORGANIZATION_STANDARDS)Macros/ViewSet

    where the latter file resides here

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Metric\Macros\ViewSet.MVBA

    I am looking for a way to add a view setup that can be used by ViewSet.mvba.  I would like this setup to be able to be used by multiple files/models.  This would be particularly useful when working on 3D cells.

    Specifically, I would like to open four views of the same model (Top, Right Isometric, Front, and Right) without having to open and set up the views manually.  I would like the right iso view to be in Smooth or Transparent, and the other three views in Wireframe.

    My problem is I’m not familiar with VBA programming.  I think I could call on the “FourSquare” definition in the ViewControlConfigurations.xml to set up the layout of the views, but I don’t know what to do after that.  I just want the ability to automatically get the four views in any model I open (with a right-click option).

    Thank you.

    As you are not familiar with VBA, have you thought about creating a View Group in the seed file, that would be available via the ViewGroup toolbar. See the MicroStation help file for details. https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v17/en/GUID-E346EF04-9695-BD05-F3D0-973D948AA3B2.html

    Your views would need to be applied to a 3D model as isometric view (for example) make no sense in a 2D world.

    You can place this under a Function Key.

    VIEW ON 1;VIEW ON 4;VIEW ON 3;VIEW ON 2;WINDOW TILE;VIEW TOP;SELVIEW 1;VIEW RIGHT;SELVIEW 4;VIEW RGHTISO;SELVIEW 2;VIEW FRONT;SELVIEW 3;fit all;SELVIEW 1;SELVIEW 4;SELVIEW 3;SELVIEW 2;CHANGE VIEW CUSTOM Smooth;selview 2

    If you are in a 3d cel file and change to a new model then just use the Function Key that you place it under.
