Do we have Go to x,y tool in Bentley Map?

Hi Kiran,
If you hit "p", you'll have the toolbox "Data Point Keyin". this is the tool for x,y coordinates, distance, arc,...

Hi Fabrice,

Thank you for getting back.

I hit the "p" key, but I'm not getting any toolbox to open. I think I'm missing some thing. Can you please let me know the other way to open this tool?

Thanks,
Kiran.

Accudraw must be enable ;-)

you can clic on the toolbar x,y,z or Distance and angle before, and after hit "p".  This is a shortcup of Accudraw.

Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,

I got it to open, I pressed F11 key. Thank you for your tip.

However, this opens only in the context for placement tool like Active Points etc. Does the Bentley Map have only Go to X,Y functionality that can be invoked irrespective of you are drawing anything or not.

Thank you in advance,

Kiran.

Ho sorry,
I know only with key-in with point or line, or the use of the key-in xy= . I use the same fonction in Qgis but I don't know for Map.
Maybe someone from Bentley have the answer ?!

No problem Fabrice. Thank you for your help. Appreciate it.

As Bentley Map utilizes the underlying MicroStation functionality for view control etc., what you are likely looking for is a MicroStation view control command (keyin).

In this case, likely:
window center
followed by the absolute coordinate, e.g. :
xy=1000,3000

MicroStation commands within the keyin window can be concatenated, by separating with a semi-colon, so the keyin syntax would be:

window center;xy=1000,3000

This still requires you to choose the desired view with the mouse, but if a named view exists, it can be specified by adding
;view ____

I'd suggest posing the question within the MicroStation forum: e.g. 'what is the concatenated syntax for centering a view window complete with view definition'.

Other usefull commands may include:
pan view
WO= (window origin)
window area extended

etc. These can be found within your MicroStation help.

Adding to what Nelson describes, you can append "selview 1" to the list of keyins to perform the window center command and automatically select view 1.

window center;xy=1000,3000;selview 1
