Question:

How do I assign a function key in to open InRoads in MicroStation?

Answer:

To assign a Function Key to open InRoads, please follow these steps:

1. In the MicroStation menu, go to Workspace > Function Keys.
2. Highlight the key you wish to assign a value to.
3. Key in “mdl l” and then the path to the ma in the Action field.
   1. On a 64bit machine, it would be mdl l "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\InRoads Group V8.11\bin\civustat.ma".
   2. On a 32bit machine, it would be mdl l "C:\Program Files\Bentley\InRoads Group V8.11\bin\civustat.ma".

Please note that these are the default locations of the ma, if you have installed InRoads in a different directory, you will need to use that path to the ma – just search for “civustat.ma”.  Also, you need the quotation marks in the command line for it to load.
