Let's study what is the most effective way to modify the radius!
For the MicroStation V8i SS3's hotkey, "7" represent "modify". I think Bentley can do some improvement/combination works on the number "9"' tool?
When you mention the "hotkey" for "7" representing "modify" as well as the tool representing "9" are you meaning the Position Mapping keys for these tools? I would assume, therefore, that the tool that is represented by the number "9" under the Modify toolbar is the "Construct Circular Fillet" tool. What sort of improvements are you recommending for this tool and how does the image relate to these. Further details would be required if an Enhancement Request is needed for any changes to this tools operations.

Yes, hotkey "7-9" is to activate the "Construct Circular Fillet" tool.
Firstly, I am not suggesting to submit an enhancement request unless there's really no good solution. Actually, as I am not the master of MicroStation so I would like to first seek what is the fastest way now for Microstation to modify the circular fillet. Deep in my heart, I'm quite desire a tool which would provide a one-click modification method (most likely impossible).
As I am not good at English presentation, let me know if you don't understand the enhancement request.

Bentley may want to reference this solution and then upgrade the circular fillet tools.
..........Am I too greedy?
Can you clarify exactly what it is you are requesting.
Do you just want a method of entering a new radius "value" into the Modify Element dialog box?
Maybe you could provide a simple screen capture showing what this would look like.

Yes. And truncate is for the case if the arc is not as a sub-element of the complex element. It is because I want the arc to be modified along two lines.
And here is the explanation of Truncate (for if it is not complex element).
This issue resulted in Enhancement Request # 114197. We are continuously improving our products via regular SELECT updates, during which we implement many of the Change Requests reported by our users.

Hi Andrew, has anything been produced from this enhancement request?
Nothing in V8i SS4 that I can see and no follow up in 5 years!?!
From what I understand of the above, the request is for Modify Element…Method: Radius preserve tangents.
This is what I’m after to re-fillet a complex chain that is used to control Autoturn vehicle paths.
This was also discussed previously..

Enhancement Request # 114197 is still being evaluated by our development team. If you wanted to be notified of updates and be included as an interested party for this I would suggest raising a new Service Request which can be linked to this.
There will be no additional improvements to SS4. Bentley has moved on. They ceased SS4 development years ago, and will be discontinuing support for all V8i versions in the near future.
