To Add to a Tool a Key-in That Runs an Application

  1. In the Customize dialog ( File > Settings > Configuration > Customize ) , click the Tools tab.
  2. Expand the User Tools section and expand the open DGN file.

  3. Expand the toolbox containing the tool to which you are adding the key-in.

  4. Select the tool to which you are adding the key-in.

    If the tool's Key-in property is not visible in the Properties pane, click the arrow on the right side of the Command Data tab.

  5. In the Key-in field, type a percent sign followed by the name of the application's executable file. For example, to run the Windows calculator you would type %calc or %calc.exe.

    The application will run when you open the toolbox and click the tool.
