Reset (right click) not returning to default command (selection tool)

CrazyIvan303 — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:58:05 GMT

We just upgraded our systems to Windows 7 and V8i SS3 from XP and V8i SS2.

We are using ProjectWise. All hardware is just simple out-of-the box Dell keyboard & mouse.

Only software was updated. Hardware has not changed.

In the old XP/SS2 environment, a right click would return me to the selection tool. This no longer works. It doesn't seem to do anything. The current command/tool remains active.

I searched online, found some info about changing some options in the Look & Feel part of preferences. But, none of the changes caused anything to change.

How can I change the right cilck behavior in Microstation V8i SS3 to escape/cancel current command and return to my default tool which is the Selection tool?

Thanks.

P.S. I do have ESC set up to cancel commands, but I am looking for my mouse to act the same way in SS3 as it did in SS2.

EDIT: I am still using XP/SS2 on top of my Win7/SS3 via a VDI login and the buttons work as expected, so it is not a mouse hardware problem.

Cross Section Annotation - Minimum Elevation Difference

Katie Bryan — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 12:57:10 GMT

I am using Power InRoads V8i (SelectSeries 2). Is there a toggle in the cross-section annotation that would stop both elevations being displayed if they are within 0.01' of each other?

The way I have my template set up, is I have a 'ditch check' point, so when it finds a ditch vertical alignment, it brings the point down to where it needs to be. But whenever it doesn't find a VA, it is 0.03' from the clearzone slope change. In Annotation Segment Slopes, there's a checkbox for "Minimum Annotation Width", but there's not for elevations. Is there a way to set a priority? Like if Clearzone Pt. is within 0.01' of Ditch Check, don't display Ditch Check Pt.?

Double Spaces After A Fraction

Katie Bryan — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 18:26:32 GMT

Hi All,

When using some of the fonts, we can either do a double space or no space after the fraction. Is there a way to edit the font to change that? At first I thought it was a matter of the data-field-like-graying of "1/2" vs. "1#2" but using arial, either way will produce a fraction (though shown differently as stacked vs diagonal )

thanks!

Problem with "SO=" keyin

bostr — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:50:48 GMT

When creating a script, I can get the following to work:

PLACE SMARTLINE
SO=185,0

but when I place them on the same line (PLACE SMARTLINE; SO=185,0)

The keyin fails ("Unknown keyin or command").

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.
