insert key status when using text

This may be simple, but when I am using Microstaton Text Edit I found I could use overwrite or insert, but I am never sure if it is on insert or Overwrite.  Is there something in Microstation that can be used to show that information. I did a search in two places and got "No Results"  no real pictures to post on this. I am hoping someone will understand the question. Using the [Insert] key just above [Delete] key. each time you press it the text will change from overwrite/insert? Some programs have/had a box that showed the status/state of the key.

  • I find this is a keyboard setting in windows  toggle the insert / deletekey on your keyboard and I dont think there is anything in mstn to tell you what mode its in .. you should log a Change request  for a symbol to be on or off in the text editor perhaps.. but you already found out that...

    there is probably a calculator function in memory thingy that you can run a vba to find out but its more trouble than its worth

  • You mean like MS Word something like that? Lorys? I started seeing there is a lot of information along the bottom of the screen. Which location in Microstation would I go to ask about adding a path search to Bentley V8i like I used to do in AutoCAD?

    I dont get what you mean..

    if you want to see the file path along the top of a drawing of your active drawing then  is its a variable you change in the work space config

    above is result you get when you change settings below

    nothing to do with the insert key  but still part of your question...
