Problem

Input ALT+Data is not placing a 3D Data
This is commonly used to place a tracking line in a different view for
3D alignment.

Solution

Reassign ALT+Data to BUTTONACTION 3DDATA

This command has been replaced with the comamnd "MATCH ATTRIBUTES
FROMCURSOR" in the delivered button assignments in MicroStation V8 XM
Edition.
This new command is used to set the active attribute to match the
selected element.

This delivered default can be changed in the Button Assignments
(Workspace > Button Assignments).
The command for 3D data is:
BUTTONACTION 3DDATA

ALT+data can be simply replaced with this command and it will work as it
did pre-XM.
However the command can now be set to any other input options (example:
CTRL+data or a Function Key).
