Remove/Filter enter data fields when creating iDPR

Hi Mike,

As far as I know data fields may be element of type either Text or Text Node. In the Automated iDPR graphical source you can select to filter Text or Text Node in the Filtering tab.

I suspect the above isn’t enough for you, assuming that you probably want to keep the some text elements and ‘filter out’ solely the data fields.

The inclusion of a pentable in the iDPR conversion (also in the Filltering tab) can give you a few more options. A pentable can be created in the MicroStation print dialog and you can ‘resymbolize’ further choosing for example the ‘do not plot’ option for certain element types or for elements types that have specific element properties (a specific levels, a color, a line weight etc…).

A couple of scenarios could be
- If the data fields are type ‘Text Nodes’ you can create a pentable that does not print the text nodes
- If the data fields are also type text then you will can try to use other attributes, elements might be in a specific level, have a specific color, or line style, or line weight, or element class (primary, construction)

Hi Caralos and thanks for your response.

The problem is that, if I have understood the dgn format correct, the edf is a part of the text or texnode object. And I need the actual text to be presented, but not the entry data field because it makes the text when looking at the iDPR field impossible to read. So sadly I can't filter out the a specific text/text node object based on a attribute.

It gets better, not good though, if i increase the precision, but the iDPR file gets very big (and I have a lot of them) so its doesn't feel like a good solution. Especially since i Microstation there is avery easy way to hide this information.

If you look at the picture below you see the first image where the Data fields is on. The dotted line i would like to be removed when creating the iDPR file so it looks like the second picture.

Mike,

Open your seed file (The one specified in the Automated iDPR graphical source) in MicroStation, go to view attributes and disable Data Fields. Save Settings and execute the iDPR conversion again, the result should be as mine, the doted lines should not be published and you should get the result you want.

Before

After changing seed and rerun iDPR conversion

That did the trick!

Thank you very much for the help, made my day :)
