Instantly access multiple design files
in a single session of MicroStation!
Everyone has heard the phrase "Good
things come in small packages". Chocolate truffles, iPods
and diamonds are all good examples. It seems that the saying
also proves true with Axiom's newest time-saving utility,
DgnQuickPick.
DgnQuickPick is a MicroStation add-on that gives users
immediate access to multiple project design files in a single
session of MicroStation, just by clicking on a tab labeled
with the file's name. MicroStation users familiar with Mozilla's
Firefox web browser will notice the similarities between Firefox's
"tabbed browsing" feature and DgnQuickPick's
tab functionality. Users can easily select the file they need
to open by simply clicking on the filename in the DgnQuickPick
toolbar.
DgnQuickPick, aside from being able to give immediate
access to a design file, can also be used to attach references
to files, detach reference files and execute key-in commands
simply by clicking on file names in the toolbar.

Get around a MicroStation license shortage!
Many MicroStation Select members use concurrent user licensing.
This means that MicroStation licenses are only available to
a specific number of users at any given time. For example:
if a CAD shop has a ten-seat concurrent user license, only
10 sessions of MicroStation can be open at any given time,
even if three of them are running on the same workstation.
When someone attempts to open an 11th session of MicroStation,
they will not be able to do so. This causes time delays during
projects.
DgnQuickPick helps CAD managers get around wasting
valuable MicroStation licenses due to users opening multiple
sessions of MicroStation on their workstations. Rather than
having to open multiple sessions of MicroStation to view multiple
design files, a user can open all the ones he or she wishes
using DgnQuickPick and easily switch between files.
Project design files can be automatically loaded at the beginning
of a DgnQuickPick session by using a File List. File
lists are text files that contain full paths to specific files.
By using this feature, a user can have immediate access to
any frequently-used design file automatically.

| Execute any key-in or macro upon
opening a design file from DgnQuickPick |
Master multi-tasking
Upon opening a design file from its interface, DgnQuickPick
can run any MicroStation key-in command or macro on the file
automatically. Through DgnQuickPick's settings window,
a MicroStation user can set up DgnQuickPick to automatically
run a fit view command or a command to set the active cell
library. Also, since DgnQuickPick can execute any MicroStation
key-in, the "mdl load" command can be used to launch
any Axiom utility automatically!
