The distances are measured along the view. dx= x, y,(z) - Measured along the view axis from the last data or tentative point. Distances, along the view axes, from the most recently entered tentative point or data point. The distances are measured along the axis, the result will look different in views that are rotated differently. dl= x, y,(z) - Measured along the x and y (and z) axis from the last data or tentative point. The angle is measured irrespective of view rotation (0 is always to the right, 90 is always up, etc.) Distances, along the design plane axes, from the most recently entered tentative point or data point. di= distance, direction(angle) - Measured from the last data or tentative point given. Distance and angle relative to the view x-axis, from the most recently entered tentative point or data point. xy= x, y,(z) - Measured along the x and y (and z) axis from the Global Origin. Using this method, you can specify the exact location of a data point by specifying any of the following: Design plane coordinates, the distances along the x-axis and y-axis (and z-axis in 3D) from the global origin, which has the coordinates 0,0 ( 0,0,0 in 3D). In the Key-In window, type dx=(x distance),(y distance) (number of copies) and press enterĤ Precision Input Key-ins Precision input is a method of entering data points with the keyboard. dx=100,0 25 Used in conjunction with the Copy Increment Text enabled, click on a number you want incremented. The Set Active Depth tool relocates the ACS to the set point in the view. For viewindependent ACS, Active Depth is the depth at which the origin of the ACS triad is located. az=0 (3D only) Used to graphically set a view's Active Depth the plane, parallel to the screen in a view, on which data points are placed. If an element starts within and ends outside the display range, only the part within is visible. Elements that have an elevation greater than 500 or less than -500 will not show in the view. Example: if the display depth is set to 500,-500. If the window is already open or docked, this sends input focus to the window 3.1.1ģ Standard Key-Ins AA = set active angle AC = set active cell place absolute AP = set active pattern cell AR = set active cell place relative AS = set active scale factors AZ = set active depth CC = create cell CD = delete cell from cell library CM = place active cell matrix CO = set active color DA = set active displayable attribute type DD = set display depth (relative) DF = open fonts settings box DI = data point-distance, direction DL = data point-delta coordinates DP = set display depth DS = specify fence filter DV = delete saved view DX = Data point-delta view coordinates DZ = set active depth (relative) FT = set active font GO = global origin KY = set snap divisor LC = set active line style LD = set dimension level LL = set active text line length LS = set active text node line spacing LT = set active terminator LV = set active level OF = set level display off ON = set level display on PA = set active pattern angle PD = set active pattern delta (distance) PS = set active pattern scale PT = set active point RC = open cell library RD = open design file RF = attach reference file RS = name report table RV = rotate view (relative) SV = save view TB = set tab spacing for importing text TH = set active text height TI = set copy and increment value TS = set active terminator scale TW = set active text width TX = set active text size (height/width) VI = attach named view WT = set active line weight XS = set active X scale XY = data point-absolute coordinates YS = set active Y scale ZS = set active Z scale The following are examples of commonly used key-ins: dp=100000, Display Depth - Sets the range in which elements are visible along the z axis. If you are using the default function key menu, is pressed. The window pops up at the location of the pointer and closes when the pointer is removed from the window.

If the window is docked, it is undocked and simultaneously expanded to its full size. The Key-in window opens when any of the following occurs: Utilities > Key-in is chosen Help > Key-in Browser is chosen. If the key-ins of a single application (MicroStation or selected MDL) are browsable, the title bar identifies the application. The Key-in Window is used to browse, construct, and enter key-ins. However, a key-in can be quicker at times, especially since MicroStation recognizes abbreviations. The effect of nearly all key-ins can be obtained using the graphical user interface. 2 Key-In Commands Key-ins are typed instructions entered into the Key-in window to control MicroStation.
