HI,
I am having some difficulty trying to customize the GUI.dgnlib. I have tried just about every conceivable way of adjusting the User, Project & Interface so that I can actually work with the DGNLIB itself. I have tried to customize it through my own Interface dgnlib, but it always shows up "greyed out" which means that it is not able to be worked with.
The GUI.dgnlib is located in the Workspace-->System-->GUI folder so that everyone in the office uses it. I have gotten many complaints that the Context Menu (right-click short-cut menu) is too long and has quite a few unwanted and un-needed things in it. I keep getting asked how to shorten the list back to what it was before (SS1). I have tried many different things, but have yet to open the Customize dialog to see the icon in "blue" for me to work with it.
Our individual UPF are contained within dgnlib's which act as our Interface as well, and I have tried to customize the GUI.dgnlib through my own Interface as well...I can create my own Context Menu, which then shows up in the right-click shortcut menu as another item with a drop down arrow next to it...but that's not really helping either! The real trouble is that, most of the tools contained in the Context Menu are not even used by anyone in the office...the basic tools such as Copy, Move, Mirror, Rotate etc. are the most commonly used, and having the use of the "short-cut HUD" is typically how most drafters in this office go about doing their work. For 3D work in ProStructures there are a few extra items in the menu, but not 20 or so like we have now. Too many options and tools to pick from, and if you accidentally pick the wrong one, who knows what can happen! Likely an abort message, which really can get frustrating when your under pressure to get something out the door 2 months ago!
So, would it be possible to get or find a GUI.dgnlib that has the Context Menu with the same content as SS1? That version had roughly about a dozen of the most basic tools when you would right-click for the short-cut menu to pop up. Everything else wihin the GUI.dgnlib that we have(from the box) is fine as far as I can tell at the moment. I have only been using SS3 for about 2 weeks now, and so far this is the only issue that has been raised.
Any help or advice is welcomed.
Thanks
