I often net to change desing file setting to the base to show North as 0 deg and my angle readout to show clockwise direction. Is there a keyin to change it to this setting? I tried recording a macro to switch to my preferred angle readout setting, but for some reason, when I run it, it does not make these changes.
Thanks for you help.
Hi Abel,
Abel Vlad said:Is there a keyin to change it to this setting?
Strictly speaking, there no key-in related directly to the mentioned settings.
But, in certain situations, it is possible to access and modify MicroStation runtime settings in low-level way, through C-expressions.
So, technically, there is such key-in ;-)
The key-ins (better to say key-in chains, because calculat application is always loaded explicitly) are:
To change Direction Mode to Azimuth:
mdl load calculat;calculator tcb->directionFormat.mode=1
To set Base angle to North (which is 90°):
mdl load calculat;calculator tcb->directionFormat.baseDir=90
To set on Clockwise checkbox:
mdl load calculat;calculator tcb->directionFormat.flags.clockwise=1
Don't forget these settings are temporary until Save settings (Ctrl+F) is used.
With regards,
Jan
