    Wait for a data point

    AskInga logo

    Original Tip Date: Feb 16, 2001

    Wait for a Data Point
     
    When building keyin scripts, add %d to instruct MicroStation to wait for your datapoint.

    For example:

    Place Fence Block;%d;%d;Fence Move
    Starts the Place Fence Block tool, waits for you to issue two data points, and then starts the Fence Move tool.
