Tip : Superscript and Subscript in Microstation

    A subscript or superscript is a number, figure, symbol, or indicator that appears smaller than the normal line of type and is set slightly below or above it.

    Subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above. Subscripts and superscripts are perhaps best known for their use in formulas, mathematical expressions, and descriptions of chemical compounds.

    To create superscript or subscript in Microstation you need to create new text style for Superscript or Subscript text.

Tip : Scale About Element Center

    Scale multiple Elements about their own center points instead of a selected point, use command “Scale About Element Center” in microstation.

    Elements may be selected individually, or can select multiple elements to scale in a selection set or using a fence. Where multiple elements are selected, they all will be scaled about their own center points. The advantage of using this “About Element Center” tab on while using scale, rotate & mirror commands, the selected element will change by using only its centre points. That is the element may change according to their respective command without affecting the position of the element. The Cells and text elements are scaled about their origins.
