11.1. Control visibility of functions (buttons)

In the CAD specific configuration file if<cadname>.cfg, in the block [UI], the key MN_valid is found. The keys MN_show and MN_hide can be added if you want to restrict the possible functions.[102]

Example Inventor

Example Inventor

  • MN_valid: All possible functions of respective CAD system

  • MN_show: Displayed functions

    If the key is not set, all possible functions are displayed. If certain keywords are specified, exactly these functions are displayed.

  • MN_hide: Hidden functions

So you can display the desired functions both with MN_show and MN_hide.

Example:

MN_valid=insert3d,cadconnector,richclient,seamless,replace3d,history,openproject,loadpsx,
 execscript,licenserelease,settings,eventmgr,geosearch,togglelivesearch,partialsearch,
 execlivesearch,nativecheckin,licenseshow,info,help,about
MN_show=...
MN_hide=...

The following table shows all keywords for the individual functions:
