Microstation Tip on Copying and Pasting elements

If you like copying and pasting elements from one file to another but also need them to be at the same location here is a tip.

Select your objects you want to copy, but don't click anywhere.
Tenative (left and right mouse click in XM) to a common point in your files, maybe the corner of a border.
Finally, just paste it into your desired file and snap to the common point you used!


p.s. You can accomplish this task in Autocad using the COPYBASE command.
