ORD Civil KEY-INS - Where can we find an overview

Hi Louis,

There is no documented overview of Civil keyins I have seen but one is needed to allow users to streamline/automate modeming processes.

Some of the main Civil keyin groups I have found that can aid in automation is:

CIVILCOORD - Civil Accudraw commands

CORRIDOR - Corridor commands

GEOMETRY - Geometry commands

PLACE NAMEDBOUNDARY - Named Boundary creation commands

IFC - IFC Export commands

SITE - OpenSite commands

H3 - Subsurface Utilities commands

Regarding setting a Feature Definition using a keyin, ive tried to get this working in the past, but there doesn't seem to be a way to accomplish this...

Hi Mark,

Thanks! I already was afraid that should be the answer (regarding to the feature definitions).

Regards Louis

My testing with setting a feature definition by keyin has been frustrating. It sometimes seems to work, but the GUI does not seem to accurately reflect that the change was made. It reminds me of earlier versions of MicroStation where a custom tool that activated a command did not refresh the tool settings, but if one activated a view command and then exited it with a reset, the tool settings would finally reflect the change. A similar attempt for Feature Definitions did not work however.
