 I use Microstation V8. I am looking to work with two screens. Number 1 and number 5. I would like to know how do I switch between the two screens.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: switch between screens</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/646149?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:59:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3fdab4c2-bc46-461b-b516-0be8eee2853c</guid><dc:creator>Gerson P&amp;#233;los</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Ron,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excellent. I tested your solution and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another solution is to&amp;nbsp;assign&amp;nbsp;the undocumented command &lt;strong&gt;WINDOW BOTTOMTOTOP&lt;/strong&gt; to a function key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This command will move the bottom window to the top. If you have only 2 windows open they will basically swap places when you press the function key. If you have more than 2 windows open, each press of the function key will shift the order of the windows allowing you to cycle through all of the open windows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try the various key-ins that apply to a view.&amp;nbsp; In addition to the key-in I posted above, there&amp;#39;s also&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;VIEW TOGGLE [1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8]&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you&amp;#39;ve found the key-in that works for you, you can define a function key that sends that command to MicroStation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: switch between screens</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/645919?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Apr 2021 13:28:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2ab7407f-9a71-413f-88e9-e0b36ca0993e</guid><dc:creator>Gerson P&amp;#233;los</dc:creator><description>&lt;div class="FFpbKc"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Move the mouse to the view you want to use.&amp;nbsp; If the view isn&amp;#39;t visible, click the button (1..8) to make it visible...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I still do not understand why you want to &amp;quot;switch views&amp;quot;. Just start work in one view and finish the operation in another view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You still do not provide the information about exact version you use. Some details how views behave in MicroStation changed in certain versions, but the concepts that views can be used freely exists in MicroStation from its beginning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;

I&amp;#39;ll try to explain:&lt;br /&gt;1- Yes, I have only 1 Monitor.&lt;br /&gt;2- Yes, I know how to turn the 8 views of the Microstation on and off.&lt;br /&gt;3- I haven&amp;#39;t used the program in a long time and I forgot how I used to switch between the 2 views.&lt;br /&gt;4- I will give an example of an operation that I want to do.&lt;br /&gt;5- Example: In my file I have the drawing of 2 motors, one next to the other (motor 1 and motor 2). In view 1 I put&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;motor&lt;/span&gt; 1 and in view 2 I put&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;motor&lt;/span&gt; 2. There is a detail (a screw for example) in motor 1 that I have not yet drawn on&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;motor&lt;/span&gt; 2. I want to look view 1, make a &amp;quot;Fence&amp;quot; on that detail of engine 1, click on the command &amp;quot;Copy&amp;quot;, click on the Fence, switch to view 2 and paste that detail on&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;motor&lt;/span&gt; 2. However, I don&amp;#39;t remember which command I used to switch between the two views.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: switch between screens</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/645893?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Apr 2021 11:43:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7d617ae6-4561-4b73-a1cb-c7a622ebbef6</guid><dc:creator>Jan Šlegr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Gerson,&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="1111308" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/212828/switch-between-screens"]I use Microstation V8.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Can you specify the used version better? By V8 you mean 8.0 or V8 2004 Edition or V8i (SELECTseries 10) or some other version?&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="1111308" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/212828/switch-between-screens"]I would like to know how do I switch between the two screens.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;As Jon explained, you use wrong terminology (so your question was not clear at first): You have one screen (or monitor), whereas MicroStation works with 8 views. These views are independent from physical screens. It means you can have 1 screen and to use anything from 1 to 8 views.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is not reason to &amp;quot;switch views&amp;quot;. MicroStation uses a concept of &amp;quot;active view&amp;quot;, which is the view used last (where the last data point was entered). But the views are equal, so you can start and end your operation in any view, e.g. to start to place a line in view 1 and, without explicit switching, to place the last point in view 5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards,&lt;/p&gt;
