See attached picture of the key in command and structure. It will not toggle the grid? I need some Ideas on the problem, when and if possible.
When it is on, it will not toggle OFF.or when ON, it will not toggle off.
If I put this into the key-in browser:
set ed toggle;xy=
My message center reports:
Enter data on : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
or
Enter data on : 2,3,4,5,6,7,8
after each entry which confirms its accepting my entry.
To toggle grids use:
set grid toggle;xy=
If you need to force an update, add UPD ALL issues an update view
Also, sometimes the tool settings gets out of synch. Adding a UPDATE VIEW;RESET starts the update view command which sets the tool lettings for itself and the reset cancels the view command causing the tool settings to revert back to the original command.

we are talking of the vba macro recorder? or is there another recorder and I am not aware of it?

I must have misunderstood the above answer BeMVP, I opened the key-in and typed in xy=0,0 do not think saw any change in the datafields? I then tried dx=0,0 I only am in 2D drawing and do not think I will be going into the 3D I am just a part timer doing 2D updates and corrections.

Have you tried using the macro recorder and doing your kein ins on at a time. then turn off or stop recording
you can name your macro something more logical or GDT then if you saved them in the right default folder you can run them by keyin macro macroname enter key ie macro gdt or just macro and a dialog pops up and you browse to the one you want... pretty cool and easy to remember... also can contain explanation as the file has an editor or you can use notepad as long as it the . bas file you can edit it...also run and step thru it to see where its wrong or fails....
or use the F keys to launch the macro.... macros are easier then scripts because it records what your doing and if it works you keep recording... a lot of people will push for VBA macros here but if your not up to vba then for now microstation basic is pretty easy to read and and understand what happening... and as your a good old boy like me basic should come easy to you...

Sometime, in a script, using a precision input key-in works where others do not.
You can enter xy=0,0 or dx=0,0 and I believe you can add an extra comma and a view number - but this requires your script to know whether its running in 3D or 2D. When using a zero, you can actually omit the comma.
DX=,, is the same as DX=0,0,0.
