I have been using Microstation V8i for a while now and get along quite fine. But one thing really bugs me.
Whenever I open a file and start working, I have to make certain settings over and over, again and again. I just can't convince my Microstation to remember.
When I want to split a polygon into its components (DROP ELEMNT) I have to manually activate the checkbox to include polygons. Also when I want to make a chain the default setting is manual and I prefer automatic.
I tried "save settings": no difference.
I tried saving my profile: still no difference.
What's the secret here? Or is it simply not possible?
Hi Anne,

It's not possible to choose what tool settings will be saved to user preference file (UPF) to be used in future sessions. I am not also aware about such list available what tool setting is stored and what not.
The most simple solution in my opinion is the customization mentioned by Lorys: To prepare own key-ins and to assign them to F keys or to create own tasks with your favourite tools. It not possible to change existing default tools, toolbars and tasks, because they are in locked dgnlib.
The key-in set item toolsettings <setting>=<value> is generall and it can be used to set nearly all MicroStation tools.
With regards,
Jan
