Annoying nag screen on exit

Microstation v8i: Is there any way to disable the annoying "This will exit microstation" nag screen that pops up if I exit by clicking the X in the top right hand corner? My mental response is usually along the lines of "Gosh, will it? I never knew that."

  • I find typing commands quicker in some cases than using the mouse, so the ability to key in commands is invaluable. In addition there are some commands (e.g. JUSTIFY LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER) that I've never found on the standard pallettes (though I'm willing to be corrected on this). I'm fully aware that I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to user interface preferences (in any software package), though I'm willing to try new things.

    In the case of the key-in dialog, I've never used it before as it seemed redundant to the command window. However, I've now switched to MS_USECOMMANDWINDOW=0 and using the key-in dialog instead. So far it seems to be working ok.

    Good decision!

    It's been working OK since MicroStation V8 was introduced in 2001  8-)

    If you've been using the Command Window, you may be unaware of the MicroStation Message Center.  The Message Center provides more feedback than the message, status, command and prompt fields...

    • The Message Center is resizable
    • You can see a list of messages posted in the current MicroStation session
    • You can copy text from the Message Center
    • You can expand and collapse the Message Center like the key-in dialog
