&lt;p&gt;The challenge is, is it possible to have Renditions generate a sheet number or reference from an Excel file for a master sheet number list based on the dgn filename? For example, ab003.dgn will have sheet no. 3 and cd006 will have sheet number 6, respectively. In the past, when printing using Print Organizer with text-string, it would be easier to do this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to auto-copy Length data to the clipboard? For example, after I measure a line string, I measured the actual length and then, separately label this line&amp;#39;s name plus copy&amp;amp;paste data from last measurement. If there is a way to auto-copy the data, that would cut down the processing time by 50%, i.e. multiple mouse-clicks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;p/s: I tried the method Label Lines and Shapes from &lt;a href="/members/de0601d9_2d00_ca2e_2d00_4005_2d00_a7b3_2d00_982abaee9aeb"&gt;Jon Summers&lt;/a&gt; but somehow if my file is opened from ProjectWise, the tool only shows the data as a dot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OK, this will be a fun one to tackle :)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basically, the client wants to display the background topographic as fine dotted-black lines, the linetype remains the same.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When using a combination of pltcfg and pen (design script) files, it used to work but now not sure what happened, the lines somehow got override to be printed as a continuous lines rather than the native linetype. For example, a striping line is plotted as a continuous line rather than a typical striping-dash line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Question is, can someone help to tweak the pltcfg or pen files parameters for the output to be correct?&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect these 2 files could be the problem or may be something else like configuration files may be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See attached picture and printing files for reference&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A - correct output&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B - incorrect output&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In order to lock say &amp;quot;keypoint&amp;quot; snap every time we start a new command, from what I know, we can double-click the keypoint snap icon, vice-versa with multisnap to lock it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a way using keyin to lock keypoint snap type? I tried using keyin &amp;quot;snap keypoint&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;snap multisnap 1&amp;quot;, the changes are temporary, once done with say drawing a line, the snap option will revert to the original snap type. Trying to use less mouse click, that&amp;#39;s all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;in Level Manager, I like to turn off the level color, linestyle, or weight override off or to something else. For whatever reason, the override is not working, it reverts back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, on level &amp;quot;1 Control&amp;quot;, I changed the color from 5 to 2, it then reverts back to 5. I simply cannot turn it off or change, it is like something else is control the master override.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also noticed the Override (in screenshot) is matching the ByLevel settings... Pleaes help!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Override&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the first time seeing this issue, I have no idea what the double quotation means. So I am using ProjectWise. In this situation, I referenced in a container-file with &amp;quot;Live Nesting&amp;quot; turn on. The files with the check marks I can turn on and off like we usually do. However, the one with those double quotation marks, I can&amp;#39;t do anything at all. Then I open this&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;container-file, all the referenced works fine...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I am sure that someone has thought of this already, and maybe there is a forum or posting that answers this question, but i have not found it yet.&amp;nbsp; I am wondering if there is either a custom tool out there that someone has created, or if maybe there is something already in V8i SS1 that i have overlooked for placing text automatically along with placing a cell that labels the cell in question.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In other words, if i were to place a cell named &amp;quot;W16x45&amp;quot; (a structural beam end section) into a drawing, and now i need to label this cell, i am wanting text with a leader that will automatically be generated upon clicking this tool.&amp;nbsp; This would be really quite helpful when detailing.&amp;nbsp; If this tool were to incorporate the active level and active text style, that would be wonderful!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Thanks for playing along!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;p&gt;keyin ROTATE VIEW ELEMENT; %d;%d;ACTIVE ANGLE PT2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;( THE ABOVE COULD BE SET TO AN F KY &amp;nbsp;IF YOU USE IT ALOT)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ll be &amp;nbsp;prompted t select an element ( text or line or shape) to set the &amp;nbsp;view rotation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then you&amp;#39;ll need to Tentatative twice&amp;nbsp;on the reference &amp;nbsp;line element ( the &amp;nbsp;one you want to rotate to) one end first and then the other end last&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now you active angle is the angle of the reference &amp;nbsp;line&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;next &amp;nbsp;we click on the rotate icon and it has the new angle set, so now click on the text or element you want rotated&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now key in vi=top to return the view ot original state and our text or line as adopted the angle of the reference element line...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried to make another &amp;nbsp;keyin &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rotate icon;%d;vi=top&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but it works like this select the text to rotate, data point in the view and &amp;nbsp;reset button mouse. then it rotates the text to right angle and sets view back to normal but doesnt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;work if you use your &amp;nbsp;mouse buttons in any other order it fails to do what you want &amp;nbsp;cant work out why &amp;nbsp;but works.. other wise the rotate bit can view top can just be done by hand &amp;nbsp;or icons etc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Autocad has all this &amp;nbsp;much easier R for rotate &amp;nbsp;and option is reference so r and &amp;nbsp;two clicks and &amp;nbsp;done...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish we had a simple tool or &amp;nbsp;macro with two clicks...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
