<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dimension Tips</span></strong><br />Dimension extension line attributes may be adjusted within a dimension string.<br />Note: This tip is also in this Wiki: <a target="_blank" href="http://communities.bentley.com/Communities/Other_Communities/AskInga/w/AskInga/change-symbology-of-extension-lines.aspx"> http://communities.bentley.com/Communities/Other_Communities/AskInga/w/AskInga/change-symbology-of-extension-lines.aspx</a><br />Here are the steps:<br />1. First set the extension line and dimension line attributes to a desired setting, (extension line style 4, dimension line style 0, for example), and place a dimension.<br />2. Use the key-in: change dimension symbology standard<br />3. Identify extension lines to display based on the dimension line style, (line style 0), with a data point then accept click sequence.<br />Note: You may use the key-in: change dimension symbology alternate<br />then, identify extension lines to change back to the extension line style setting, (line style 4). </p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tech Tips - MicroStation V8i or MicroStation V8 XM Edtions</span></strong><br />Note: All links below, will open examples found on ModernTech AEC's web site. </p>
<ol>
<li>Key-in Browser Tip<br />For some Key-in browser users who remember the days (pre-V8XM) when the Esc key would give focus to the Key-in browser.<br /><br />Go to the menu pick: Workspace>Preferences.<br />Choose the category, Position Mapping.<br />Disable the Use Postion Mapping option.<br /><br />This will disable the new ability to activate tools by using the keyboard, but will allow users the old functionality of switching focus back to the Key-in browser when the Esc key is typed.<br /><br />Note: As an alternative to disabling the Position Mapping option, you could assign the following key-in to a function key:<br /><br />inputmanager cmdbrowse<br /><br />This key-in will give focus to the Key-in browser as well.</li>
