Note:
  • Use the CUSTOMIZE DELETEALLDATA key-in to delete all template data and all custom toolbox, tool, task, and menu data from a DGN file. All elements that are associated with the templates being deleted will no longer be associated with the templates.
  • Use the CUSTOMIZE RELOAD key-in to reload all template data and all custom toolbox, tool, task, and menu data into a DGN file. You would use this key-in if the DGN libraries had been updated and you wanted to reload this data to make it available. Closing the DGN file and reopening it will produce the same result.
  • Use the CUSTOMIZE EXPORT ICONS <path\directory\> key-in to export icons from the open DGN library to a directory. You may want to export icons in order to edit them.
  • Use the CUSTOMIZE IMPORT ICONS <path\*.ico> key-in to import icons to the open DGN library. To import a single icon, use CUSTOMIZE IMPORT ICONS <path\filename.ico>.
  • Use the CUSTOMIZE OPEN TOOLBOXASMENU key-in to open a custom toolbox, task, or main task at your pointer location. The name of the custom toolbox, task, or main task must be specified. Task names must be preceded by one backslash (\), main tasks by two backslashes (\\), and custom toolboxes by no special characters.
