Place a cell at true north in Microstation

Well I hope 2010 is going good for you, mine was until my beloved Cowboys got embarrassed by the Vikings (Favre, just retire already!), but now I can watch more Maverick games and this years NBA All Star game is just down the road at "Jerry World" this year!

But onto the real reason you read my blog, here is a quick tip for locating true north while placing a north arrow cell in your Microstation files. This trick comes in handy on rotated views as well!

To accomplish this place your north arrow cell just as you normally would but before you set the cell origin, type PLACE CELL ABSOLUTE TMATRIX in the key-in window!
