Problem

How to switch easily from element class "Primary" to "Construction" and back, when drawing elements. He wants to do this by pressing a button or using a function key.

Solution

This can be achieved using the MicroStation Calculator.

Use KeyIn "mdl load calculat;calculator tcb->props=0" for switching to Primary class.

Use KeyIn "mdl load calculat;calculator tcb->props=2" for switching to Construction class.

These commands are easily accessed, when assigning to a button or function key and will work also, when a command is active.
