    Faster way to select all elements
     
    The following tip is presented to you today by Phil Frank, CAD Manager at Northeastern Log Homes.

    Take advantage of MicroStation's accelerator keys by customizing Edit > Select All so that it's activated by CTRL+A. This will comply with most other software packages that use the same accelerator to select all objects and fits nicely with a power users work style which is "one hand on the keyboard, one hand on the mouse".
