Key-in to toggle "Lock" on Manipulate Scale dialog

MicroStation V8i SS4, V08.11.09.829

Is there a key-in to toggle the "lock" on the Manipulate Scale dialog?

I recorded a macro, but it did not record anything for when I toggled the lock.

Thanks,

Brian L.

  • Hi Brian,

    If you toggle the Method from Active Scale to 3 points, a Proportional setting appears on the dialog.

    thanks for the correction of my mistake, I missed this checkbox ;-)

    I forgot to mention in my original post that I had tested those set item toolsettings as well.

    In such case I assume there is no such key-in and it's something handler internally in a logic of Scale tool :-(

    With regards,

  • he is using  v8i and did not specify if it was a basic macro which still is available, or a vba macro which is better .

    I tried to vba and it worked so since he said his macro didn't  its not too big a stretch to imagine he tried to use the basic macro recorder which wont pick up the code to do it ...but now  I cant  find it and tried to do it again and now it dont work I must have done something different in the wrong order  ... I remember it had some tbc  etc line that seemed to be what  made it work... unfortunately I emptied the recycle bin and I cant find it anywhere.....  I know it sounds too good to be true  but I wish now  I hadnt deleted it...
