    Modifying sisNET tasks

    If you want to customize sisNET tasks - either adjust existing ones or replace all or some of them with new ones - make a copy of the SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB file and consider making modifications only to this file. To make the new DGN Lib available to all users, modify your SITE cfg file  or your DATENBESTAND.SISCFG file by adding the following line:

    SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = path to you modified copy of SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB  (e.g. SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = $(_ustn_site)/sisNET/mysisnet_tools.dgnlib)

    If you want to make it available only to one user modify its .UCF file in the same way.

    Tips and hints:

    • Be aware that this is applicable only for sisNET versions higher than 8.11.07.116. In older versions you have to modify the complete MS_DGNLIBLIST path accordingly.
    • If you want to use the old WERK toolbox (NOT recommended !) you have to set the SISNET_USE_STANDALONETOOLBOX = 1 in one of your CFG files.
    • Be aware that modifying sisNET tasks in this way bears the risk of decoupling from updates (new versions can contain enhancements or modifications that may go unnoticed!)

    Steps to customize your SISNET_TOOLS DGN library

    1. Make sure you understood the chapter "Tools, Toolboxes and Tasks" in MicroStation help file.
    2. Make a copy of your language specific SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB  and name it mysisnet_tools.dgnlib
    3. Open it in your editing environment and select Workspace > Customize.  You should get the following dialog box (language dependent).
    4. .
    5. On the left side there are all available sisNET tools and toolboxes while on the right side there is the 'sisNET - Tools' task containing the complete set of tool references. There is no specific tool grouping other then the default one given by toolboxes.
    6. Some of the left-side tools are conditioned which means that they (and their references also!) have 'Show/Hide Test' properties which evaluate to TRUE or FALSE showing or hiding the tool accordingly.
    7. Please remember:
    1. a tool 'Show/Hide Test' property can be set only on the left side and therefore it will enable the tool and its references in each embedding task
    2. .
    3. a task 'Show/Hide Test' property can be set only on the right side and it will show/hide the complete task including all tool references
    4. .
