I am looking for a simple copy paste text program. I have dimension text that need to be copied to a table. I have maybe 100 dimension which I drop element, then I copy each text and paste it into a pre-made table with blank text or "--". When doing this often, it gets time consuming and tedious. What I am hoping to find is a program that all you do is click on desired dimension text and then click on the blank dash text in the table, which gets replaced by the dimension text. So this would require just 2 clicks, and maybe have this program looping, ready to copy the next text. I made a rough simplistic keying program (which does not loop) and is reduced to 4 clicks (inputs). First a preselect the dim text, then "CLIPBOARD COPY;xy=0;choose no;edit TEXT" (this requires a control v input). My question is the a simple program freeware that can help with copy pasting a slew of text from one place to another? Thanks

Your request is unusual. It would be surprising if an application — freeware or otherwise — were available to do exactly what you want.Can you post a screen shot (or DGN model) that illustrates what you want to achieve?
MicroStation VBA provides a built-in customisation environment. Perhaps you could use that?

so you would copy 20.98 and paste into the table with user selecting the locatioin in the table (with 2 user clicks inputs, one to select text 20.98 and one to select the " - - " location in the table. and so on...
Have you tried text FIELDS?

No I have not tired text Fields. Not sure how they work. I will try to read up on it or maybe find a good tutorial on "ask Inga". thanks.
In text editor right-click and select "insert field".
You can copy the field and reassign it to another element.
I don't think it will work on a dimension, only curves. So you will have to find a workflow for that.
