Key In Place Active Cell

Via Key In or Key In script in Microstation V8XM/V8i i would like to set the Interactive flag and Rotate only in the Place Active Cell window, before placing the cell.

What does the Key In Command(s) look like?

  • Just wanted to add that you can use the "set item" key-in to change items in the toolsettings dialog. 

    To do this:

    1. Start any tool

    2. Open the key-in browser and put in "set item toolsettings"

    3. You should see a set of named variables for the active tool

    4. You can set variables by using an "=" sign  

     

     

     

    For example for this tool we could use the following: 

    place cell icon  // start the tool 

    set item toolsettings cellinteractiontype=1 // set the interactive type we want

    set item toolsettings celltypeinteractivetoggle=1 // enable the toggle

    This can also be done in the Customize dialog when making custom tools by right clicking in an empty area and adding item settings.

     

     

     

     

    Hope this helps,
