trouble editting datafields in cell

We are using Microstation Connect update 14 and we are having trouble editing 2 datafields in a cell.

The cell is a revision block cell and it has 2 datafields that are nested in the revision block cell.

In V8i we could right-click and it would jump to the next datafield for editting - in Connect, right clicking does nothing. There doesn't seem to be any way to toggle between the 2 datafields.

I opened a service request and it was immediately labeled as a defect and may be fixed in next version. Defect Report 1107554

Has anyone found any workarounds for this?

Thanks,

Regan

  • in Connect, right clicking does nothing

    Does a double-click do anything?

  • Hi Jon,

    A double-click on the data field opens the edit data field but almost always on the 2 char  datafield, its very difficult to get to the single datafield for editting.328629-1-4.dgn

    I attached the DGN file.

  • its very difficult to get to the single datafield for editting

    When I double-click on any datafield the text editor pops.  I'm zoomed close in...

    Double-Click Text

    Check that your element selection is set to Individual...

    Select Single

    MicroStation CONNECT Update 14.2

  • as you move your cursor over the data field you will see it switch between the two data fields being selected. When the one you want is highlighted , then select it.

    Try moving your cursor back and forth along the data field and see the different ones highlight.

  • Jon,

    Yes, my selection settings are set to Indivigual and New.

    I should of said its the left end of the cell that has the 2 data fields.
