Multiple Function Keys

The Function Key is the easiest
and most under-used facility on MicroStation. Here
is how I have been using it in my work.
From the pull down menu, select
“Workspace > Function Keys”. Then select
“File > Save As” and save function key settings
as survey.mnu. Next, resave it as electrical.mnu then
resave it as feature.mnu.
Now here is the clever bit.
Take the default funckey.mnu and edit
to am=Survey,fk and to am=Electrical,fk.
So as long as you follow the
format am=filemane.fk it will load any function key
menu, load the required tools or macros and such,
and you haven't altered the settings of funckey.mnu,
just extend it by the Shift key.
