I accidentally docked the Accudraw dialog to the Right and there is no button or bar to undock it. it has taken up so much space. I am using Microstation Connect.
Hi,
I have noticed that ACS Plane Lock and Snap Lock are not working properly while having "Always Show Compass" setting on. Is it an intended behavior or just a bug? If it is an intended behaviour, can anyone provide any documentation/examples of using…
Since updating to CONNECT Edition 10.16 we've been having the following issue where, when trying to move the dimension text along a dimension line using the "Modify element" tool, accudraw won't properly rotate to the view when using the left/right view…
Hi Everyone,
Anybody knows why AccuDraw does not rotate properly with some of the references (when using RE command)?
With one reference on my 3D model it works properly as shown on the screenshot below
but with other references as below
My…
Hello, I'm looking a way by using key-in(s) to change the angle of multiple selected text to 0° or any other angle defined by me.
I know about program ActiveAngleAssistant, I'm interested in key-in(s).
MicroStation V8i (SS3) 08.11.09.292
I've been on google for a while now and not being able to find my answer. I'm thinking I either don't understand the google results or my question hasn't been asked yet. I'm looking for a way to cycle through snap-modes. Fx [CTRL] + [Mouse wheel] for…
The drawing plane coordinate system is not visible and i cannot figure out how to get this visible in the bottom toolbar, think it might be a tool within another tool?
See screenshot below and link to the webpage to the toolbox which is missing.

I have just upgraded from V8I select series 2 to 3. Before, I could move or copy an object, drag it to any distance and I would get a repeating snap for the distance. Now, I cannot get that repeating snap unless I type a specific distance. AccuDraw and…
Hi everyone,
I've just starting to learn MicroStation but struggle with setting a suitable coordinate system and a top view. My default settings look like it is polar system and a top view isn't parallel to the screen (at least a grid isn't, please…
I have a SmartLine and want to use AccuDraw to rotate it about an axis defined by two 3D points, how would this be done?
In this case the SmartLine has vertices A, B, C at coordinates (x,y,z):
A 0.00 , 0.00 , 0.00 B 8.17 , 24.79 , 4.82 C 17.83 , 34…
Thanks Dbl J D,
The version of XM I was looking at was the last release (08.09.04.88) and I can only see the same height of the AccuDraw dialog but I do see in V8 2004 that it was shortened when in a 2D file.
Thanks also, Derval, for that detail for…
When using Accudraw during your design workflow you have the Accudraw Shortcuts that allow you to Rotate by the various set definitions including Front, Left, Right etc. It also also shortcuts allowing to rotate by X, Y or Z, ACS, or even a rotate cycle…
Does anybody else experience the same problems I'm seeing?
This is what I'm attempting to achieve:
I am trying to draw a line 2 subunits (2”, or any distance ) short of (or past, in some cases) where I’m snaping to. This works in all v8i and earlier…
I think I want to change or add shortcuts to the accudraw menu but I want to make a copy of the file they are kept in. Where might I find that file
In VI it used to be in C:\Users\HOME\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\8.xx\o_Dof88niaENmS1PChQ4Mg\shortcuts…
Hi,
I am doing some research on precision drawing to help inform decisions about our next generation of products. I am interested in the steps you would use to create the lines shown in the illustration below (not including the dimensions).
If you…
Hi I'm wondering if the AccuDraw command "R+V" (rotate view) have been removed in MicroStation CONNECT?
I'm usually using the command when I want to rotate my drawing from top view to see the drawing
from a straight angle. You can see how I did…
It is quite surprising that anyone is still using MicroStation V5 as this version would not really be supported any more.
I have installed this version just to figure what you might have been asking about as I believe it was the AccuDraw Shortcuts you…
This is a picture of what I am trying to achieve,
what I have achieve so far. Just need to shorten the extension line, instead of showing the entire lenght, can it have a fixed length?
If you know the answer please reply, many thanks!…
When I installed CONNECT, even on a fresh machine that hadn't seen any preview versions, (OS Win7 Home SP1, 64-bit), RQ is set to Rotate ACS, RA is Rotate Quick and RW is Rotate Z. Same thing with my regular machine (Win7 Pro SP1 64 bit).
And I'm not…
Microstation 8Vi Selectseries 3. Not sure how I turned it off. I tried to turn it on with "accudraw dialog shortcuts" keyin command, but that does not help. I tried rebooting with no luck. The only thing that help is if I use an old version of user pref…
Hello,
Would using Accudraw to do this work? For example, set an Accudraw origin (press O) on the midpoint of one of the vertical lines on the shape, then lock the movement to the horizontal axis (press Enter ) which would serve as the 'virtual' axis…
This is 2 fold.
If i'm always adding 1 3/4" on to a snap point, key stroke "+ :1.75", is there something I can prepend these key strokes with, in my function key, to get them into accudraw instead of the command line? Maybe something like "ACCUDRAW…
I have been a Microstation user for over 20 years and I love it dearly. But, in the last year I have also been working with Revit. Now, I know comparing Microstation and Revit is like comparing apples and oranges. But, just in looking at Revit's drawing…
hi all
with accudraw active, I'm not able to switch from rectangular to polar mode with the space bar. All other shortcut keys works.
Do you think is a installation problem?
Thanks Dario
