[CE] - Search Element By ID

Good morning,

The key-in: analyze element byid [id number] works but opens the old Element Information window.

Shouldn't it open the new Properties window?

The old window is still doing something on the new version?

Regards

  • Hi Jose,

    I disagree with an idea to change a functionality of the existing key-in. "Analyze element" key-in always, for the whole MicroStation history, has opened the former Element Information dialog. In my opinion it's bad idea to change this functionality.

    On the other hand I agee it would be nice to have the same functionality available for Properties dialog also. Now a workaround "dialog properties open;select byelemid <elem id>" can be used, but maybe one key-in can be implemented instead of these two?

    There is a small difference between old Element Information dialog and the new Properties dialog: If "analyze element" key-in is used, the information is displayed without adding the element into selection set. Properties dialog can display the information about elements in selection set only.

    With regards,
