I find very difficult to set the defaut settings for tools.
Sometimes it is in dgnlib, sometimes in seed files, sometimes with configuration variables,...
And sometimes i don't know where. For example the Drop Element tool: i would like Line strings/Shapes to be ticked - on all my networkers machines. Where is stored this settings ?
Could you give us an overview of these defaut settings ?
thanks,
Xtov
Am I correct that the above described key-in "set item toolsettings" does not work with the Element Selection tool or the Measure Distance tool?
Thanks,
Brian L.

Your right but if you open up the keyin browser and type powerselector then all the available options appear in the next column and if you choose that next column then if any other options could be applied they will appear in the next column...
And likewise the measure tool
maybe if you post what you want to do somebody may have a better answer or repost to the programing forum...

Hi Brian,

Yes, it's correct unfortunately. Tools have to "prepared" to be compatible with set item toolsettings key-in and some tools are not. They are not many of them, but they exist.
The solution mentioned by Lorys is the best in my opinion. Tool specific key-ins are in these cases probably equaivalent and they allow to set the tool parameters in the same way is set item toolsettings key-in with other tools.
With regards,
Jan
