Preprocessor Dialog

Used to disable and enable preprocessing and adjust the following preprocessor settings:

  • Expression delimiters
  • Output format strings

Opens when you use the PREPROCESSOR key-in. The dialog box controls correspond to preprocessor commands. While the Calculator/Preprocessor is active, preprocessor commands can be keyed in the same way as MicroStation key-ins.



Key-in: PREPROCESSOR

Note: The PREPROCESSOR STATUS key-in displays the current status of the preprocessor in the Status Bar.
