&lt;p&gt;this &amp;quot;Recall level filter&amp;quot; dialog does not appear all the time, haven&amp;#39;t found reason yet. anyway, it&amp;#39;s quite annoying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-- edit --&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;just to be clear, I&amp;#39;m using Attributes toolbar docked at the bottom edge of the screen, not Attributes group in Ribbon. using Ribbon everything works as expected&lt;/p&gt;

The one with leader follows normal MicroStation command operation where you pick the element to be labelled and place the label - this is expected and acceptable. However, the no leader option does not follow the usual sequence. Picking an element requires you to be on a snap point, not just on the element, so the picking rules are not set for this tool. Next issue is that the label is placed on the snapped location, it does not allow you to place it interactively.&amp;nbsp; Strangely the tool does allow you to pick the target location using a data click prior to snapping to the element but this does not follow the sequence of normal MicroStation tool operation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like the place label no leader tool to have its picking sequence changed to match normal operation. Rewrite it to first pick the element, and then allow for interactive placement. I would also recommend issuing tool prompts to alert the user as to what the tool is expecting at each click, these are also missing from the tool. Finally I would like to see the tool updated to support a pre-selection like many existing MicroStation tools. If the user pre-selects elements and starts the tool, a confirmation click should place the nominated label cell at the centre or centroid of the selected objects using the item/field text derived from each selected element.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Connect Advisor install option</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/i/extensibility/connect-advisor-install-option</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2020 08:10:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b036e274-6bc0-435c-9735-cfeffa2bb05a</guid><dc:creator>Ian Lapper</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;HI All&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have raised this with Bentley and got a reply that there is no scope to get this added.&amp;nbsp; So I thought maybe the power of the user base may help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want an option to include or not the CONNECT Advisor on installation.&amp;nbsp; I have mocked up and image of what I would like.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/telligent-ideas/fa0a3418-a8b2-406e-9b5b-d2720961b70d/connect-advisor.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have even stated to Bentley that by default the option should be on and it is down to the user, CAD administrators to turn it OFF if they do not want it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
