If you want to know how to do something in MicroStation, or if you've found a cool tip or trick that you'd like to share, you've come to the right place. MicroStationTips.com is a forum for MicroStation users and CAD Managers to share tips, tricks and how-tos. It is a platform for savvy users to share their bounty of knowledge with peers.
Dunno if you ever got an answer to this. It can be done. I've provided the answer below. I can't take credit for this though. It is posted at the AskInga site.
To run a macro or set of keyins when starting MicroStation, you can use the -s command line switch which dumps the contents of a "startup file" into the MicroStation key-in window for immediate execution.
For this to work, you'll need to append the MicroStation icon command line to read: ustation.exe -sdrive\\folder\\file.txt For example: -sd:\\temp\\RunNow.txt
I work for a company that has made its own pulldown window toolbar that we use in Microstation V8i. This two-part pulldown window toolbar allows us to (1) pre-select a drawing scale, and then (2) select to dimension, add note, etc.
However, in order for this toolbar to appear in our user interface, we have to key in the following sentence:
"setmgr select dockablesettings"
Is there a way in the Workspace/Configuration window to type this in to where every time you launch Microstation (whether opening an existing file or creating a new one) this is already launched so you don't have to keep typing it in?
