COPY and PASTE (Clipboard) to keyin

 

It is possible to use COPY and PASTE (Clipboard) to keyin or into a text item on a dialog box.

If you use Ctrl+V then MicroStation will paste the text as a MicroStation text element.
Using Shift+Insert should do the trick. The only requirement is to give the focus to the Keyin field or dialog text item.

NOTE: If you are using the place text command and wish to enter text into the keyin window, you must prevent MicroStation from parsing your text for commands.

Use the grave-accent key (`) - unshifted tilde (~) - in front of all non command text.

Or key in:
SET PARSEALL OFF to prevent MicroStation from parsing your text for commands.

The full set of keyins are:
SET PARSEALL OFF
SET PARSEALL ON
SET PARSEALL TOGGLE
