Hello,
I'm new to V8i SS3 and I'm trying to do something that worked in V8 2004. In one View window I could tentative a point and then move my mouse into any of my other views and use my mouse scroll button to zoom in on the tentative point. I haven't figured out a way to do this in V8i. Please help if you know how to do it. I don't remember having to set up anything special in V8 2004.
Thank you.

Hi Lorys, yes I did. It did not do what I was looking for it to do. Thank you for your suggestion.
ok but you got to work with what you got ... try open two views, make them fit if you only have one monitor, in one view use the window area tool in your main zoomed out view now when you do the first point even with tentative and then data you get a dialog that asks what view to apply your selected area to a nominated view window to if you select the view number for your second view the equivalent of a zoomed in view centered in the middle of the shape from main view in the second view and you have a cursor in both views and you can scroll zoom in view 2 and if you pan view 2 you see the cursor move in view 1 so you know where you are not happy go back to view 1 and continue until you need to zoom in again so repeat the process.... birdview just made it easier to do... the original SE version was better as it worked exactly like you wanted and even set the original object view flashing or where the cursor was kept running along and flashing ... I remember it but not as clearly as I'd like... it was along time ago...
Hi Lorys,
I have found a work-around that is relatively quick.
CT said:I have found a work-around that does what I want but has more steps than the old Microstation V8 2004. I have 4 different views open at one time and all can be at different levels of zoom. I draw a line with the start point as the location that I'm trying to find in my other views and then without selecting a second point of the line (keep it stretchy), I move into the other views and scroll into the area where the line originates. Once I have all of my views where I want them, I cancel the place line command.
