Match stuff under your cursor in V8.5
Gino Cortesi
was overheard saying:
"A new set of keyins allow you to match information from the cursor in dynamics:
match element fromcursor
Matches all the settings of the element under the cursor.
match attributes fromcursor
Matches the level, color, linestyle and lineweight.
match symbology fromcursor
Matches the color, linestyle and lineweight.
match level fromcursor
Matches the level.
match color fromcursor
Matches the color.
match style fromcursor
Matches the linestyle.
match weight fromcursor
Matches the weight.
You can assign these to a function key or AccuDraw shortcut to match information on-the-fly."
A little extra stuff....this will work when you "hover" your cursor over an element and activate one of the keyins at that time. This is why it's a good idea to put the keyins on function keys or as additional AccuDraw shortcuts.
