Hi all.

Anybody knows how to add/remove/edit context menu by Sheet Set, Sheet and Subset elements via .NET? From ADN I didn't receive the response to the matter: it was the formal reply, not contained the answer (the request number 06930535) :(:

Note that customizing a context menu might be doable by invoking Win32 APIs, though it might not be straightforward and considered as a hack, so not supported from ADN perspective.

Is the everything really so bad? :(
Sheet Sets have a weak functionality. For my users I need to extend it.

Sorry Andrey,
I haven't played with Sheet sets at all.

From the answer from the ADN it looks like their techs haven't done snything with them either.

Good luck with an answer :)

Regards,
Kerry

FWIW -

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has wasted thousands, upon thousands of taxpayer dollars to create a utility they call SheetSet Organizer (which allows Microstation users to manage multiple DSTs for a single Civil 3D project :roll:).

This utility is included with their Civil 3D 2012 State Kit (which has been in Beta for the past +/-6 years :roll:), which Autodesk has willingly worked with them to expose APIs, develop code, and even SP2.1, etc..

In any event... Use Reflection, or IlSpy to navigate   C:\FDOT2012.C3D\APPS\SheetSetOrganizer\SheetSetOrganizer.exe   (post-install)... To see how they use an external application to interact with SSM. Maybe that will present a rabbit hole for you to explorer.  :wink:

Here's a little sumpin' sumpin' I created a while back.  Some of the code (or ideas) I got from the JTB site.  I think....   :|

It's not going to work in a 64-bit install because the code is running out of process because VBA isn't integrated with AutoCAD anymore.  But feel free to disect it.  Maybe it'll help you.  It creates a DST file on the fly with predefined subcategories.

I can do it, thank you, but my question was about other.
