We recently upgraded to V8i and the "msbatch" is in a different directory. (The old folder names don't match.) I also want to point out that "msbatch" is just a switch. The folder names used in the command are just GUI for the user. So really you can do "IN" and "OUT"...

OK I am just an average CAD guy with my first post to this forum. I work at an environmental engineering firm. Right now I am working on a very large river cleanup project. We take hundreds of cores in the river to identify the contamination limits to come up with design cuts. We store all this coring...

I've been using the same seed file for months with no issues until this last week. People are drawing lines that instead of being place at 0 elevation are being place at exponentially high or low elevations that are so far out that mstation freaks out and won't draw them until they been draped...

Suggestion on the MS_THUMBNAIL variable. With this value assigned [See thread subject line] then the system will create/update the thumbnail image using the lowest numbered open view (for example, if views 4-8 are open, view 4 is used) per the existing functionality, but the View is maximised and not...

I have just installed Microstation v8i SS2 (08.11.07.443) Program files are local, Workspace files are on a network share (r/w full control). I am trying to add a customized toolbar, however the icons for the "New Toolbox, New Tool, etc." appear to be disabled. I have checked the The only ability...

Is it possible to get reports out of existing drawings. We are switching over to OPPID, but we have a lot of drawings that are just microstation What we need is a line list so the team does not have to do manual

Hi , I am in charge of a few workstations in which users run MicroStation V8i. General and gaming GPU:s have so far worked well but now aliasing has become an issue . The dizzyness and sawtooth pattern in lines are too obvious . Also the users are rendered dizzy already by the days first coffee break...

I'm using V8i, but when I call up Element Information, I get the old V8 version of the dialog box. Everyone else has the newer version with all the cool editable features, but we can't figure out why mine is the old one. Are there settings I need to reset?

Hi All! I am looking for a way to Batch Process substituting/replacing one reference file attachment for a different file. It would be similar to double clicking the Reference and Browsing to a new file. Havent been able to find any key-in for this action. I would like to identify a current attachment...

Does V8i include the old EDG editor? I'm in need of recovering some deleted elements.

I have several 3D files built in Microstation V8i SS2, that I need to convert to 3DM in Rhino 4.0. In theory Rhino opens the .dgn files, but in reality it misses out elements, drops solids to lines and creates triangulated meshes out of what are, in Microstation, square blocks. Is there some way of getting...

Not sure about the exactly on the double post, but I am going to try the Idea from Inga above. I have a picture now of what I was talking about. When my Laptop's at home the second monitor is a different size then at work so I have to keep adjusting on each drawing between computers. I have a VBA...

I was looking at a previous Key-in I opened my Key-in, did not see the option. Do I need to turn something on or was this from the older V8 version? sorry for the confusion, but I have pasted both pictures. Of cours you can see my other attempts at my script files :-) as well, but the only focus at this...

Greetings, Is there a key in to remove tag sets from a design file? Ideally a key-in but a bas command will also do...trying to avoid VBA if I can!

I went through over an hour of reading Key-in GREAT Information, but cold not find an example to Key-in to Toggle Grid on/off, I normally am turning it in Via the Ctrl B function and then finding the grid option and clicking on it. I made a VBA Macro and then a tool bar button for this but seemsi like...

I cannot seem to get the AccuSnap toggle (yellow cross) and object handles to appear in my version of Microstation v8i... I have tried selecting show handles in Element Selection and have checked all settings I know of, but still can't get it to work. If anyone has any other ideas they would be gratefully...

We have created a DGN of Grand Cayman Island using SHP files from their GIS office. Now we are using a Trimble GeoXH to survey routes on the island. The locations from the Trimble device which is using WGS 84 ITRF 2000 coordinates don't appear in the correct location on our DGN drawing when we import...

Is there a way to disable a user's abiltity to configure their user config file though the Main Menu > Workspace > Configuration? EBS

I have the MS_REF_MASTERFILELAST_DESIGN = 1 statement in my configuration and the variable works in any new model created in the file. However, it has no effect in the default model probably because the seed pre-dates this functionality. How do I update the seed file by creating a new default model that...

Hi, Is there a way to mate elements in Microstation like there is in SolidWorks? For example, if I create a floor element and then some furniture, I would like to be sure that the furniture stays always on the floor when moving it (not in it or over it). Also I wonder if it is possible that if I have...
