Problem

How can you change mirror settings for placing cell through keyin?

Product: MicroStation V8i/MicroStation V8 XM Edition

Area: Cells, Problem ID#: 37041, DEFINEDSTEPS

Solution

Use the "Set Item" key-in to change items in the tool settings dialog.
To do this:

1. Start place cell tool (i.e. Place Cell Icon)
2. Utilities > Key-in and then enter "Set Item Toolsettings "

Expand the keyin browser , you will see a set of named variables for the
active tool... you can set/toggle those "settings" by adding "=value".
For example
you can toggle on and off the mirror setting or you can toggle which
mirror setting you want to use, horizontal, vertical or both.

set item toolsettings cellmirrortoggle=0 (mirror toggle off)
set item toolsettings cellmirrortoggle=1 (mirror toggle on)
set item toolsettings cellmirrortype=0 (for horizontal)
set item toolsettings cellmirrortype=1 (for vertical)
set item toolsettings cellmirrortype=2 (for both)
