My supervisor is demanding that I Fit View on all sheets upon exiting. This is too tedious for the pace that I want to maintain while drafting.
Can someone please help me understand how to Fit All automatically upon exit?
This question has been answered a couple of times in a few different ways, but none in a way I can understand. I am 4 months into Microstation learning on the job with AutoCAD and 3DS Max education background. I am new to editing the config files so you may need to point me in a couple of directions to answer my question. I really appreciate the feedback.

Unknown said:This was great Bear! Great article. I am about half-way there. I can get it to automatically fit view for the sheet I am on when I close, but not the others. I will mess around with it. Any other input is appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
The following keyin will fit view extended only the active view, then saves your settings and closes the drawing but does not exit microstation
it leaves you in the manager so you can now open or browse to open and other file, I would suggest you sacrifice an unused easy to get to Function key
copy and past the next line into the F key editor, via workspace function keys
fit view extended;filedesign;close design
F key customisation is one of the best things about mstn
if you want exit then create a shift & F key combo best to use the same F key as before and add in the shft key
So the key in then to do as before but exit is
fit view extended;filedesign;exit
I also use the control F and control O to get in and out of files but if you want to automate the fitview options then the custom F key is the easiest and quickest work flow, the vba macro etc is just too much effort.. my way press a button when you need it cant be easier than that and its optional!
