    Match element attributes using the ALT key

    Match element attributes using the ALT key  

    Ha! This is sweet.....in MicroStation V8 XM Edition, you can match element attributes just by holding down the ALT key and issuing a data point on an element under the cursor.

    Note: In the XM edition, this will only work if you've got Identify Elements Automatically turned on in your AccuSnap settings.  In more current versions, you can leave  Identify Elements Automatically turned off and this tip should work just fine.
