    Match stuff under your cursor in V8.5

    Match stuff under your cursor in V8.5
     
    Gino Cortesi was overheard saying:

    "A new set of keyins allow you to match information from the cursor in dynamics:

    match element fromcursor
    Matches all the settings of the element under the cursor.

    match attributes fromcursor
    Matches the level, color, linestyle and lineweight.

    match symbology fromcursor
    Matches the color, linestyle and lineweight.

    match level fromcursor
    Matches the level.

    match color fromcursor
    Matches the color.

    match style fromcursor
    Matches the linestyle.

    match weight fromcursor
    Matches the weight.


    You can assign these to a function key or AccuDraw shortcut to match information on-the-fly."

    A little extra stuff....this will work when you "hover" your cursor over an element and activate one of the keyins at that time. This is why it's a good idea to put the keyins on function keys or as additional AccuDraw shortcuts.
