SiteMenu Browser

SiteMenu includes an integrated browser for viewing Documentation Links, launching browser events (see below), exploring network folders, and linking to intranet or Internet sites. Whereas SiteMenu menu bars are designed to handle hierarchical menus and submenus, and SiteMenu HotLists are designed to handle tabular CAD standards data, the SiteMenu browser offers an alternative color graphical interface for delivering CAD standards and design information.

Features

• Uniform standards interface for MicroStation and AutoCAD
• Allows delivery of design information in a color graphic format
• Sends commands to MicroStation or AutoCAD via browser events
• Used to display menu item-specific custom user documentation
• Browser is closed automatically by selecting an item or clicking a view
• Browser is integrated - moves and expands with host CAD application
• Browser can be linked to a SiteMenu HotBox for quick activation

Browser Events

Browser events are commands or actions that are initiated from a page being viewed in the SiteMenu browser. Browser events can include launching an email, opening a document or spreadsheet, sending a command to MicroStation or AutoCAD, exploring a network folder, or opening a web page. Using the SiteMenu browser, you will be able to place symbols (cells and blocks); set drawing attributes (layer, color, style, weight); open drawing files and attach references; or run macros. Simply use your favorite word processor to create pages containing commands to drive MicroStation or AutoCAD - hyper linked to images or text within the document.
