Imagine a scenario where you are working on the front view of a 3D model for a house. You are required to produce a top-view of the foundation for this 3D model. Using the Detailing Symbols tools a callout can be placed along the line of the foundation in the front view that generates the desired dynamic view. The position of the callout can be modified to dynamically change the position of this view. Once this dynamic…
You must not miss this. This innovation extends dynamic views capabilities, enabling an automated, mutually contextualized fusion of a projects drawing documentation set and the projects 3D model.
Following are the details of the lecture:
Topic: Model Documentation

This is a workshop at Be Together, designed for MicroStation users and CAD Administrators. Here is the official blurb of the workshop:
Designed for MicroStation users and CAD administrators, this hands-on workshop will teach you the best practices for implementing dynamic views in your drawing production workflows. You will also learn how to properly integrate standards nto those workflows. Key topics will include dynamic…
Here's another interesting lecture at the Be Conference. It will give you all the information about implementing annotation scale as part of your project standards and how to integrate it to your drawing production workflow. Key topics will include drawing composition, annotation scale, and standards management.
Topic: Annotation Scale: What Are You Waiting For?

The Bentley User Conference (Be Together) is back. There are some really exciting lectures on MicroStation key areas such as Dynamic Views. One of them is the lecture: Increasing Productivity With Interactive Dynamic Drawing Composition Workflows in MicroStation V8i. John Frampton, the presenter would display the great capabilities of MicroStation V8i drawing composition workflows. You'll learn how to enhance your team's…
A saved view is a view definition, which includes the level display for both the active model and references, the clip volume, and other view attributes. A saved view can be applied in a model in the same file or attached as a reference to a model in the same file or external file. In MicroStation, you can view the list of models in which a saved view is used. The Saved View Usage dialog displays the list of models (in…
Have you come across the situation where in you need to go to different drawing and sheet models to turn off levels over and over again? Or have you been repeatedly turning the display of references on and off to customize the view? Wouldn’t it better if you do that by fewer clicks or single click?
We want to emphasize the idea of not worrying about display/hide stuff when you are in design model. You would prefer…
If you have not caught up with Dimension Styles yet, and are still placing dimensions using just the active settings (Style: None), then you may have faced the challenge of having to propagate a change to all dimensions. Dimension styles make it really easy to do this, and we encourage you to use them. In this blog, I will explain how to do this programmatically in MicroStation VBA.
Say you have several dimensions in…
This blog is about controlling text settings of a Note. A Note is a text with a leader or a callout without a leader. Note comprises of two elements: a leader as a dimension element and a text as a text element. Therefore note is a composite element that gets its settings from dimension style as well as from text style.
This blog is mainly to clarify which settings of note are controlled by dimension style and which…
Like level names, every level must have a unique number. Because both the level name and level number have to be unique to the file, MicroStation must be able to resolve potential conflicts when a new level is added to a file that already uses the new level's name and/or number. These conflicts can come from a variety of sources including: a user adding a new level, merge of a reference file, resolving levels from multiple…
A Section view displays section graphics. Section graphics are new geometry drawn as the result of cutting the design model with the section cut plane. These section graphics are not persistent elements.
The common annotation tools can be associated to section graphics. For example, you can use the Dimension Element tool to create a linear dimension that is associated to a linear section graphic.
To place associative…
Users follow various workflows for drawing composition. Some of those workflows are described below. In the Simple 2D case, model graphics as well as annotations and line work are all drawn in a 2D model. The same model is printed. In the Typical 2D case, model graphics are drawn in a separate model so that they can be shared across multiple sheets.
For the purpose of this blog, we will think of model graphics as one…

While creating a new model, you have the option of using a seed model. This is been supported for all the model types; design, drawing and sheet.
In the above dialog, you can choose the model type from the available choices…

Suppose you have a field pointing to certain property of an element and now you want to either point it to a different property or point it to a different element. There is amazing functionality of Edit and Reassign fields.
Edit Field: You can edit already placed field using Edit Field. This is available in right-click menu in Word Processor dialog.
