			To return to the previous tool in MicroStation V8 XM Edition, press &lt;em&gt;Shift + the number or letter corresponding to the representative tool in the Main tool box or in the Task Navigation tool box&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			For example, by default the &lt;em&gt;Manipulate&lt;/em&gt; tool box is in position number three and is represented by &lt;em&gt;Copy Element&lt;/em&gt; tool. By pressing &lt;em&gt;3&lt;/em&gt; the &lt;em&gt;Manipulate&lt;/em&gt; screen menu will open, and pressing &lt;em&gt;4&lt;/em&gt; will get you to the &lt;em&gt;Rotate&lt;/em&gt; tool. This now sets the &lt;em&gt;Rotate&lt;/em&gt; tool as the representative tool for that tool box. In other words, it&amp;#39;s this icon that now shows in position three on the Main tool box.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			To re-activate the representative tool of the tool box, just the &lt;em&gt;Shift + the number or letter adjacent to the icon&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Not only does this bypass the screen menu, it&amp;#39;s also very effective for those of you working with the &lt;em&gt;Element Selection&lt;/em&gt; tool. &lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			The video below shows the following keystrokes: &lt;em&gt;3, 4, 1, Shift + 3&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Notice that the screen menu has been bypassed when pressing &lt;em&gt;Shift + 3&lt;/em&gt; to return to &lt;em&gt;Rotate&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
