PINNED Add measuring/pick distance tool in parametric solid and variables tools
As a MicroStation modelling user, I would like the capability of filling the Distance field by picking two points (or distance between other elements) from within the tool, so that I can be much quicker in creating solids and other elements where ...

Enter into Untitled Design

Reintroduce the possibility while starting creating a new untitled design file, without having to browse or manually create a new blank file. Without such option there is a bad practice that in some workflows users tend to not create new files and...

Item Types Pick Lists and display rules

Can we make the Item types 'Pick Lists' dynamic so that if they are renamed, they are picked up in the Display Rules. As it stands, they link is lost, resulting in the display rule being invalid. If you manually edit the display rule the renamed P...

Add a dynamic auto spell check in the text editor.

Pretty much everywhere now has automatic spell checking. Even this text box I'm typing in now dynamically shows if I misspell a word. I would like to see this functionality in MicroStation.

Bring back the undo function in the text editor.

I still miss the ability to use Ctrl+Z in the text editor. Now when I mess up something small I either have to take the time to fix it manually or release the text without accepting the changes and start over.

Notes with underlined text

In V8i, there was a leader setting that could underline the last line of text in a note. This was VERY useful, and could be manipulated to place the underline (delimiter) under any line we wanted. It wasn't as great as a style that could, say, und...
