When "OK" is clicked the issue box will appear on the curser and must be snapped in to place.

Use AccuSnap to place the issue box in place.

Note: The preview of the "Issue" box hanging off the cursor does not include the description lines, after

entering a datapoint (left click) the issue box will be moved up to accommodate the description lines.

 

The issue can be revised by using the Issue – Update Current Tool.

 

The issue can also be deleted by using the Issue – Delete Current Tool.

 

Note: The Microstation “Copy” tool should not be used to copy Issues.

The Microstation “Edit Tags” dialog should not be used to edit “Issue” Text manually, as CADtools writes additional information to the file that is required by other tools such as “Batch Insert Issue”

 

Keyin: vba run [CADtools_Drg_Setup]Issue.InsertNewIssue
