HotLists

HotLists are lists of items containing one or more columns of information such as name, description, and attributes. The items are grouped and organized under tabs and displayed in a resizable spreadsheet-like dialog. HotLists are ideal for accessing tables, schedules, level-layer schemes, and other tabular CAD standards data and design automation.

Features

• HotLists offer an efficient interface for tabular CAD standards data
• HotLists allow browsing quickly through large volumes of commands
• The HotList dialog automatically disappears after selecting an item
• Groups of items can be layered from multiple network locations
• HotLists can be linked to a SiteMenu HotBox for quick activation

Each HotList is unique, with its own title and set of tabs. Each tab is also unique, with its own columns and list of items. Each tab corresponds to one LST (text) file, defining column names, column widths, and command(s) to be activated. Multiple tabs can be layered into a HotList from any number of network locations. SiteMenu supports up to 100 HotLists, allowing you to switch HotLists from within a HotList. Columns can be resized, moved, or hidden dynamically during use.

Commands can be chosen by navigating through tabs and lists with your arrow keys or mouse. A single click will activate the item and dismiss the dialog instantly.

Each HotList item contains commands to drive either MicroStation, AutoCAD, or both. Commands may include SiteMenu commands, MicroStation key-in commands, or AutoCAD commands (using menu macro syntax).
