Disappearing palettes
TMMoot, have you tried removing your UPF file and have MicroStation recreate one for you? It sounds like a user preference file problem. Do you have read/write accessibility to your C drive? If you want the toolbars to save location you need read/write to the ProgramData folder. Hth, Bob...- mechamb

Way back when I bought a book XML for dummies that helped get me started and a lot of google searches. Not trying to be salesy but if you are still needing help we...- mechamb

InRoads Reports - xsl Stylesheet Editing
What DOT are you working with? Most DOT's deliver custom reports with their standards. I use XML Notepad to make edits to the XSL style sheets. HTH, Bob Mecham Training | Consulting | Programming www.EnvisionCAD.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/EnvisionCAD Twitter...- mechamb

Related to AutoCAD's Ortho function
GhostsOfCanton, yes AccuDraw is a very powerful tool for design. If you haven't used the O key for Origin that is another that can get a lot of use. Cheers, Bob Mecham Training | Consulting | Programming www.EnvisionCAD.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/EnvisionCAD Twitter...- mechamb

Forgot password in Geopak
aatbinc, sorry but the GEOPAK password can not be reset or unlocked. I would never recommend password protecting a MicroStation file or a GEOPAK file for that reason. Your only option is to contact Bentley directly and see if they can help. Good luck, Bob Mecham Training | Consulting |...- mechamb

InRoads - Generate Front/Top of Curb Feature
Crystalct1, I have always used the flowline feature as the offset line. I go over in the horizontal 0.05 and then whatever the vertical is 0.5 that way you are less likely to have the crossing breaklines. HTH, Bob Mecham Training | Consulting | Programming www.EnvisionCAD.com Facebook...- mechamb
