V8i select series 3, Add a terminator cell to the end of a line or curve automatically

I am transplant from the auto cad world and I am looking for ways in micro station to do the things that i was able to do in autocad. Is that any way to associate an arrow head automatically to the end of a line of curve without have to use the place cell terminator function, also along that same line is there a way to automatically place leaders with arrow heads at either end of a line or curve with the bearing and distance, or curve information.

Thank you

  • Can you post a  picture of what you want to achieve as acad speak is not the same as microstation speak..

    If for example you want a call out  note  with arrow leader, then this is the  place note command in mstn and  it has a dim style that can be set and saved  in your  dgnlibs file so it will always be available, then you can assign a script ( commands strung together with semicolons look up help under action strings) sand assign that to a customised Function key or  F key to execute your command string... this is one  of the best features in msnt  customisation  of things you do often...

    The settings for a place note have use the arrow and  filled, not filled , size, colour etc and what  font  to use... this best saved as mentioned as  nominated dimstyle and added to a dgnlib file that is defined in your workspace... sounds hard but its easy and its so cad can find it when you need it without browsing...

    Bearing and  distance of a line is a dimension feature  under Label Line ( see help under label line)  and it measures a line and only  places text above , below etc , I have seen  people copy offset a line and change it  to a custom line to place arrows at both ends and use the label line to put bearing and distance .. somebody made a macro for this awhile ago do a search..

    For curve data label  you need to use inroads or search for a macro I shared  here a while ago scroll down to my post and you'll see the layout of curve with full annotations and the macro to download and copy of the pdf etc

    it will label the  curve with degree of curvature, radius, length of arc, tangent length, delta angle , external height above the cord to the  IP of the tangents  I also  had a pdf that  gave you the  equations to calculate this and a excel spread sheet to do the same thing without cad or to check cad. I used this because I don't usually have access to inroads ...
