Creating and editing custom commands

To create or edit a custom command:

In Configurator, expand Commands in the configuration tree to display the existing commands.
To delete an existing command, select the command and on the Edit menu, select Delete.
To edit an existing command, select the command and click the Edit button.
To create a custom command, on the Edit menu, select New Command. A new command is added to the configuration tree and its property pages appear in the right pane.
Type or select options on the General page using the descriptions in the following table.

Custom command options
Option	Description
Display name	Type the name of the command as you want it to appear to users as a button caption or shortcut menu item.
Name	A default internal name is calculated. Accept the default in most cases.
Type command script	Click the TeamWork Script Editor button to edit the command’s VBScript event procedures described in the BlueCielo TeamWork VBScript API Reference. For information on using the TeamWork Script Editor, see the BlueCielo TeamWork VBScript API Reference.
NEW Submenu name	By default, custom command names appear on the folder or document shortcut menu together with the available TeamWork commands. To place custom commands on a submenu of the shortcut menu, type the name of the submenu as you want it to appear in the shortcut menu. All custom commands with the same value for this option will appear on the same submenu.
NEW Sort priority	By default, custom command names appear grouped together on the folder or document shortcut menu and in alphabetical order. To configure a different order, type a number to set this command’s position among the other custom commands.
NEW Display line separator above the command	Enable this option to display a line above this command’s name in the shortcut menu.
Reference types affected	If the command should also affect documents that are related to the documents that the user currently has selected, select Automatic, Manual, or both options. Automatic references are those created by the TeamWork application links for AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Autodesk Inventor, and so on. Manual references are those that users can create manually in the TeamWork client applications. For more information on creating and using references, see the BlueCielo TeamWork User’s Guide.

Click the Applies to tab. A list of the document types to which this command can be applied appears.
Select each document type to which you want this command to be available.
NEW Click the Pages tab. A list of the custom property pages appears.
Select pages that you want to appear when this command is executed, for example, to prompt the user for input before execution.
Click OK to save your changes.
To make the command appear on the shortcut menus of the document types to which you applied it in step 6, select the command on the Commands page of the document types as described in Creating and editing document types.
To add a button for the command to a property page, select the Command option when adding a panel element, as described in Configuring the property type of a panel element.
