    Problem

    Manipulate with Handles has changed in XM.

    Element manipulation using handles works differently in XM than in previous versions.
    Version: 08.09.02.52
    Product: MicroStation V8 XM Edition
    Area: Manipulation

    Solution

    Element manipulation and modification using handles has been updated.
    There are no longer two sets of handles. Now, by default, when you drag a handle to modify an element, the geometric relationships are preserved (angle, radius ratios, and so on). You can toggle this off by pressing the <Alt> key while dragging, which results in the selected vertex only being modified.
