    Problem Description

    When launching the key-ins dialog dimplace open or dialog dimattrib open the Dimension Styles dialog box does not open.

    Steps to Resolve

    The key-ins dialog dimplace open and dialog dimattrib open were used in MicroStation V8 2004 Edition to open the Dimension style dialog box that looked like this:

    In MicroStation V8i SELECTseries the dimension style dialog box looks different as it now includes more features and settings. The new key-in that opens it is:

    dialog dimstyle open

    and it looks like this:

    If it is still preferred to use the old version dialog box, it is still possible to open it through the key-in:

    mdl keyin DIMSET DIALOG DIMSETTINGS OPEN
