Sir's

I am Anas. New member in Microstation family.. I am not very well in microstation so please help me if I have
doubts.

I am working in Road & infrastructure works & drawings. I need to put some coordinates in my drawing. How I can
put or place coordinates with leader?

Bentley has many software packages. Which particular software are you using? Is it
plain MicroStation or possibly another Bentley software package?

One toolbar in plain MicroStation V8i that you might like to consider is the XYZ text
tools. This has two tools that may perform what you require.

Label Coordinates
Label Element

It does not have the option for placing leader lines like a dimension but may be useful.

go here ( next line) and get civtools for v8i

es

unzip and put all contents in a folder that makes sense to you , it really should go where all the other
mdls live but as your new its easier this way

now to load it you will need to have the Key in window open if its not visible go to help pull down and
youll see key in click on it then

dragthis up to the top bar as you need to use it often..

now to load your new tool in the key in window key in "mdl load" (without quotes)

then hit the enter key a new dialog should open and the lower left should have browse button use it to
browse where you put civtools.ma

and click on it and it should run the tool pallet, first time it may pop a message just ok and it loads
the new pallet of civ tools

If you read through information file in the zip you should know what each tool does but

first time you'll need to set up parameters see my picture marked 2

then run or click the NE button I marked it 3..

This is the most usefull tool set for civil it can do loads more things ie label 3d contours etc... but I use
the NEZ button the most... you can even change it to ENZ
