Keyins are available to establish default conditions prior to initiating the cell slide command. This action string could be used to place a hydrant named hyd1 on a waterline:
cell set nobreak;cell set attach;cell set rotate;cell set nolock;aa=90;cell slide hyd1

CELL SLIDE [cellname]
CELL SLIDEMULTI [comma delimited cell list]

Tool Settings
Next (>>)
Allows the user to cycle through a series of cellnames. For the CELL SLIDE command, this button attempts to locate a cell with the next numeric value. For example, if the active cell was "CELL1", the clicking the Next button will find "CELL2" and make it active, then "CELL3", and so on.
For the CELL SLIDEMULTI command, the button cycles through the list provided in the keyin argument. For example, activating the command with CELL SLIDEMULTI CAR,TRUCK,BOAT will make all three cells available through the use of the Next button.
Tracking
Determines how the cell orientation is defined. Selecting Element forces the cell to be placed with its x-axis tangent to the element, in the direction the element was drawn.
Selecting Cursor forces the cell to be placed with its x-axis tangent to the element, but the direction is determined by positioning the cursor either to the left or right of the element.
ISO Plane
Determines the skew to be applied to the cell. This is useful when placing symbols on isometric diagrams. The user sets the ISO plane and sets the isometric angle in the field provided.
Change Direction
This toggle will mirror the cell about the temporary line before the rotation is applied.
Rotate
Applies active angle rotation to the cell.
Attach
Determines the anchor point for the cell. When ON, the cell will be placed with its origin on the element. If Attach is ON and the Offset field is not zero, the cell will be shifted by the Offset value. Negative values produce a shift to the left.
When OFF, the cell will be placed on the cursor while maintaining its orientation to the target element.
Break Element
Clips the element if certain conditions are met. If ON, CellSlide will scan the cell for two (2) Construction Class active points. The active points will be independently projected to the target element. The projected points will be used to break the target element into two pieces. Break cannot be used when the Attach toggle is OFF.
Place Relative Cell
Places the cell with relative levels similar to MicroStation's Place Cell Relative command.
Force Settings
Allows the user to override the symbology of the cell at placement time. The following options are available:
Active Level - Place the cell on the active level. Active Symb - Place the cell with the active symbology. Active Both - Place the cell on the active level with the active symbology. Object Level - Place the cell on the target element's level. Object Symb - Place the cell with the target element's symbology. Object Both - Place the cell on the target element's level with the target element's symbology.
