A little feature of Microstation that I really like...
When you move or copy MS can/will remember the distance value you used last. So let's say you want to move a series of objects that are unrelated directly and are not easily selected in one stab, you move one object a specific distance, then since it remembers that last distance you pick another and you move it and "snaps" in at that distance, you can certainly move it any distance you want but there is a perceptive "detent" like the balance control on a tuner. It really "smokes" for some basic operations. It could be nice across views that you need to move annotation stuff the same distance and eliminate entering that value endlessly.
A very subtle thing certainly and I wouldn't want it to detract from my number one wish...AND THAT IS (http://www.zoogdesign.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=892)
