Hi there,
Is there a key-in command to disable drag operations? I like being able to trim / extend by dragging a line but I don't want to accidentally move an element when attempting to draw a selection marque.
If there is a key-in, I can assign it to an F - key to improve my workflow.
Thanks,
Hi Ario,
as Andrew mentioned, please follow the best practices and always specify used product and its exact version.
It is possible to switch off dragging in User Preferences (did you search help for "drag" keyword?). There is no key-in assigned to this setting, but as Andrew shows, it can be changed using VBA macro (that can be called using key-in).
Regards,
Jan

Yes, I toggle this setting on and off several times a day. Drag operations are fairly dangerous when working with text elements that can accidentally be dragged from their empty space characters.
Since I do this so often and it takes quite a few clicks, I'm looking to assign it to one of the function keys.
We're using MicroStation v8.

it is interesting, because I have never reason to switch off the drag operations. It's probably because of different style of using MicroStation tools.

The right key-ins are
macro vba execute SetCExpressionValue "userPrefsP->flags.disableDrag", 0 and macro vba execute SetCExpressionValue "userPrefsP->flags.disableDrag", 1
With regards,
