Drawing plane coordinate system not visible

The drawing plane coordinate system is not visible and i cannot figure out how to get this visible in the bottom toolbar, think it might be a tool within another tool?

See screenshot below and link to the webpage to the toolbox which is missing.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

  • Hi Sam,

    You haven't told what version your using, and it's always best for everyone to follow forum best practices.

    toolbox which is missing

    In V8i you'll have to go to Tools and select Primary:

    Another way is to press CTRL+T to open toolboxes, then find Primary to open this one,

    After you'll only have to click on the Toggle AccuDraw icon. If you click again it will turn it off.

    If working in CE you'll have to go to Home tab, then Primary, then More and you'll get the same Toggle AccuDraw.

    Or as per V8i, using CTRL+T to open the toolboxes and select the Primary one and so on.

    If want something faster you can use Search Ribbon on the right side on top of the ribbon and type "tog" without the quotes and it's the first choice.

    You'll get the same window if the Accudraw is undocked and if working in a 3d model. If working in a 2d model you don't get to see the Z value.

    If this answer your question, please give a verifed answer.

    Thanks and regards

  • Hi, Thanks for the reply. Apologies I tagged the software but forgot to add this to the description. Connect edition Update 11.

    Attached is a screenshot. The X, Y & Z drawing plane is not visible and I cannot get this toolbox back onto the bottom of the window. Have you any idea on why this is missing and how to get it back? The previous screenshot showing X & Y drawing planes was from Openbuildings designer, that is whats missing from the interface on my MicroStation connect edition. Toggling accudraw did not work and it doen't seem to be open in my window list off screen.

  • Are you referring to the ACS Plane tools? If so go to the <Drawing <Drawing Aids <ACS. It would really help if you could circle the toolbar that you are referring to. You have several toolbars and pinned dialogs at the bottom of your screen.

  • I believe the OP is missing the Accudraw input dialog. Accudraw is running, but the input dialog appears to be missing.

  • You can try to go to the Accudraw settings & check that Auto Load & Always show compass are checked on. See if that brings the dialog back. Then try unchecking them to see if it goes away. I have Auto Load checked on all the time. Ir is also possible the dialog is hiding off screen. Try changing your monitor resolution to 800x600 and see if it appears. If it does drag it inside Microstation before the screen reverts.
