I am using microstation v8i ss4. I want to write a script in a text file (notepad) to place a cell in the drawing but I don't know what are the shortforms or key-ins are to be written to execute the file?
Can anybody help me from where can I get the list of shortforms or key-ins to write a script. Please see the below snapshot. I have written a script but it doesn't work. Can anybody help me what should be script be like?

Try
Place cell icon 125Mvar_400Kv_Reactor
xy=0,0
You don't need the define cell origin. That is used when creating a cell to put in a cell library and not in placement as the cell will already have an origin.
Thanks duncan. But i want to know at which co-ordinate this cell will get placed? How to define the co-ordinates for placing the cell.
Change the xy=0,0 to the coordinates you want to place the cell at.
Thanks Duncan. One thing I want to know. Is there any list of abbreviations for all commands like for active cell it is "AC"? So what are the abbreviations for other commands?
In the help if you go the the tool index and look up for example cells you will get a list of keyins for that command.

I recommend that you use the full key-in in your script file. The abbreviated commands exist to make experienced users faster.
If you use the full key-in in your script it becomes easier to maintain. Six months from now, you'll look at your script and ask yourself "What does AC mean?" If you use the full command it will be simpler to understand.
