I am looking to set up OpenRoads so I can do basic drafting the same as I do in V8i. I found this article which allows me to use the same task window for drawing.
https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/45256/can-i-have-the-task-dialog-from-ss4-in-ord
However, it does not allow me to use typed commands (ie, Q1 = smart line). Is there a way to do this in OpenRoads to allow the same efficiency for basic drafting?
Yep! You can turn this on in the Backstage (click File) under Settings > User > Preferences. Look for Position Mapping and toggle it on.
