Matching Element Attributes by Drag ‘n’ Drop

In MicroStation V8 XM Edition, you can match the attributes such as level, colour, linestyle, weight, class, element transparency and element priority of an existing element by dragging and dropping onto the Attributes toolbar. By selecting the element you want to match with Element Selection and dragging it onto the relevant field of the toolbar, the element’s attribute is matched accordingly. So, to match the colour of an element, simply drag and drop it onto the colour drop-down of the Attributes toolbar. To match all attributes that are controlled in the Attributes toolbar, drag and drop the element onto the symbology preview pane.
