This is 2 fold.
Here's my thought. It seems I'm frequently adding (or subtracting) the same distances to my snapped points.
Hi Scott, have you tried Customizing Values in AccuDraw Popup Calculator?

Does Microstation not automatically keep the last distance you entered? I know that on my computer that when I have entered a distance, and then I move the mouse to (or around) the distance I provided earlier, it will automatically snap to the previously used distance and will continue unless I change the distance. Also, it should maintain the same distance in any direction you move the mouse. Let me know if this is anywhere close to what you are asking. If not, I would like a little more information. Thanks!
Hi Bob,
Long time...
I didn't know about the popset variables. It is very cool. Although it does have it's place, I think it wouldn't provide the productivity that I was looking for with the extra key strokes (I was hoping for 1 function key). I will probably use this, just not for this current issue. It would be nice if you could stuff mu:su:pu's into a variable. It makes for a lot of work when 3 5/16" has to be keyed in as, {1/12*3+1/12/16*5} (provided that CALCULAT is loaded).
Thanks for the tip!
Kind Regards,
Scott

migrate to Australia or any other progressive , English speaking country with metric system ! not a problem for us here in Australia .. And for text scales I can do it in my head without annotation scale do it for me... sorry not really a solution but I couldn't resist when I see old style imperial fraction units.... so glad our government forced us to metricate last century ( while I was still in high school) .. :)
ok enough fun...
Take a look at help under action strings
Also try recording a macro while you do your task by hand then review what the macro recorded you may be able to steal commands you can use in the action string and use F keys to launch with...

Hi Bob
Do you know where the PopCalc Variables you noted are saved/stored? In a Resource file, In the User Preference file?
I Hope This Helps Someone Reading This! (Intergraph>PseudoStation>MicroStation user since 1980's)
