Do I always have to click in the Key-In box prior to entering a key-in command?

Using MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3): do I always have to click my cursor in the key-in box prior to typing in a key-in command? Is there a way to make it so that if I type, MS automatically knows I'm trying to key-in? It is like that in AutoCAD with the command line.

Thanks!

  • MicroStation has more dialog boxes and places to give input. It also is not, by nature, in a "null" state, waiting for a command. It always has a tool of some kind (Selection by default) ready to go. This is different from AutoCad, which only has the command line for entering information, and by default is in a null/waiting state.
