microstation keyins

[Bob]

Some of my CADD operators, who have upgraded to Microstation 95 would
like to use keyins for their command entry ( yes, and there are people
who perfer sidebar and tablet menus also ). Is there a listing of keyins
available ? There is none available with the documentation which came
with our upgrade, or in any on-line help.

TIA

Bob,

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such list. Have you ever user the
Key-in Browser? In MicroStation 95, this can be accessed from the
Utilities-->Key-in pulldown menu. The Key-in Browser dialog box can be
resized to display all of the documented key-in's as well as a list of
previously used key-in's.

HTH,
Matt

The key-in browser is great for finding all available key-ins (including
a lot of undocumented ones), but if you know where the icon is,
sometimes its hard to find out what the keyin is without a lot of
searching and experimenting. In this case you can use this trick --
record a basic macro, then go push all the icons you're wondering about.
Edit the macro text, and you'll see the keyins. Another trick is to
use customize to look at what the icon's keyin is, but I find the basic
thing to be quicker, since you can easily check a bunch of them at once.

Mat et. al,

You may load ustation.rsc into uStn v5 sourcer (part of MDE) and dump the whole
thing along command tables to ustation.r text file....

I think, the same can be done in RDE (uStn 95).

Bob,

There was also a little article in the January 1996 MicroStation
Manager by Brian Gantt that provided another solution: a UCM that
displays most keyins as you identify the palette, menu, etc that
invokes each. I present a version of this UCM.
Yours, Geoff Houck

; ----------------------------------------------
; PALKEYIN.UCM - User command to display command
; keyins (ala Brian Gantt, MSM)

set outflg = outflg ! 8 ;allow cmds
go get1
ermsg1:
key 'beep'
msg 'erPlease select menu option'

msg 'prSelect from menu'
msg 'cfDisplay Menu Keyins'
get m,keyin,r,exit ;wait for input
go ermsg1
keyin:
set msg = 'stKey=' + key ; display keyin (if present)
msg msg
go get1
exit:
msg 'prCmd exitted'
msg 'stCmd exitted'
end

Chris, et al:

You can also look at '...\mdl\include\cmdlist.h' file for a pretty exhaustive
list of commands. Just strip off the 'CMD_' and remove the 'underbars' and
you'll have 'em.

Bob,
Onward Press has a book "MicroStation Reference Guide" which supplies the
keyins, palette locations and descriptions of each command that has been real
useful to our MicroStation users.
