Problem

With the release of MicroStation V8 XM Edition the Element Information dialog box has been redesigned and some major improvements included.

Is there a way to display the old Element Information dialog box that way previously available to MicroStation V8 2004 Edition?

Solution

The key-in to open the old style Element Information dialog box is:

ANALYZE ELEMENT

This will open the old Element Information dialog box after an element has been selected and display that elements information.

The key-in to open the current Element Information dialog box is:

ELEMENT INFO DIALOG OPEN

This will open the Element Information dialog box that you would normally see when you click on the icon in the Primary toolbar.
