&lt;p&gt;I would like to indicate surfaces by shading, but without to hatche the whole surface.&lt;br /&gt;I want to fill only a small section and what I like here is that this hatched area has no dedicated frame. &lt;br /&gt;This is a great way to indicate surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How does this work?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have played around a lot without success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only way, but without the same result was:&lt;br /&gt;- create a shape&lt;br /&gt;- hatch the shape (associative pattern not enabled)&lt;br /&gt;- delete the shape&lt;br /&gt;- group the hatch lines&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However I would create a hatches surface as &amp;quot;Associative Region without frame&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;See the right shading on this picture&amp;nbsp;and the attached sample file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a special reason, I would like to draw a site plan in a 3D DGN instead of a 2D DGN, to be able to use the &amp;quot;elevation&amp;quot; element property.&lt;br /&gt;Normally we would draw this type of drawing in 2D, but in this case, I want to build this plan up in different &amp;quot;layers&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;That means, each floor on a different elevation (Z-axis height).&lt;br /&gt;I was very pleased when I discovered the elevation property.... and thought that would be a great help to make my work easier.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, however, I can&amp;#39;t handle this elevation property.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It starts with the fact that there are differences between the V8iSS4 and the Connect Edition Update14, which I both use.&lt;br /&gt;In the V8iSS4, the elevation is displayed for certain objects in the property window, but the elevation values ​​cannot be changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other way, in the Connect Edition, I can change the elevation values ​​with the &amp;quot;Set Element Elevation&amp;quot; tool, but I don&amp;#39;t know how to display this value for elements ....&lt;br /&gt;In the Connect Edition, the point for the element elevation is missing...., this property can not be shown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m very confused about the elevation property and would be happy if you could help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Why does (in MSV8iSS4) the elevation property not exist for all type of elements?&lt;br /&gt;For example, if I draw a shape, the &amp;quot;elevation&amp;quot; property is shown in the property windows. But if I draw a simple line, it didn&amp;acute;t have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Why can I no longer see the elevation values ​​in the property window in the Connect Edition?&lt;br /&gt;How can I display these values?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One optional question :)&lt;br /&gt;3) Is it possible to select elements at a specific elevation?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I add 4 screen shots, with the difference between MSV8iSS4 and Connect Edition Update 14.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many Thanks&lt;br /&gt;Regards&lt;br /&gt;Raphael&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is there somewhere for the connect edition a guide which explains the best way on how to move to a new PC, with the need of reconfiguration as few as possible?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite intensive search, I could not find any information about it.&lt;br /&gt;Many thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Microstation Connect - Rename personal.upf and personal.ucf</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/administration/f/product-administration-forum/197026/microstation-connect---rename-personal-upf-and-personal-ucf</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2020 19:03:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6a1e8b83-1557-42bb-b694-a6fccf30261f</guid><dc:creator>Raphael :)</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just switched from V8i to Connect and would have a few questions, also among to a comment in the following text (hope I can link this here?):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://envisioncad.com/microstation-connect-ucf-and-pcf-files/"&gt;https://envisioncad.com/microstation-connect-ucf-and-pcf-files/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In the Connect Edition, the UPF and the UCF are now bound to the Microstation user and are called personal.upf and personal.ucf by default.&lt;br /&gt;I read in the linked text above, that there is still a configuration variable for the UPF file, but it wouldn&amp;#39;t work and you shouldn&amp;#39;t use it either ..... !?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is that correct?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like, as in the past, to rename all of my personalized configuration files with my initials.&lt;br /&gt;E.g .: XY_UserPref.UPF and XY_UserConf.UCF&lt;br /&gt;I also found the variable for the UPF and was able to test it successfully. It seems to work for the UPF.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- What about user-related UCF?&lt;br /&gt;How would I have to proceed to rename it?&amp;nbsp;Is that even possible?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In msconfig.cfg (which we shouldn&amp;#39;t touch) I found:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------&lt;br /&gt;# The names of the user preference (.upf) and user configuration (.ucf) files,&lt;br /&gt;# which are stored in the $ (_ USTN_HOMEPREFS) directory, are determined by _USTN_USERNAME.&lt;br /&gt;# ------------------------------------------------- --------------------&lt;br /&gt;_USTN_USERNAME: Personal&lt;br /&gt;_USTN_PREFNAMEBASE: $ (_ USTN_HOMEPREFS) $ (_ USTN_USERNAME)&lt;br /&gt;# ------------------------------------------------- --------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That means that the UPF and UCF always get this fixed name &amp;quot;Personal&amp;quot; via this variable ....&lt;br /&gt;But I still haven&amp;acute;t understood, how Microstation controll which UCF file has to be loaded, in order to refer to a renamed file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, can someone explain this?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would be happy if you could explain what the statement in the text linked above is based on and whether my plan for renaming this files is possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot&lt;br /&gt;Regards&lt;br /&gt;Raphael&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>My thoughts and fears on using text styles in Border-Seed-Files.</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/142951/my-thoughts-and-fears-on-using-text-styles-in-border-seed-files</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Nov 2017 11:57:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6ab60438-2564-41fa-822b-4838dac398dc</guid><dc:creator>Raphael :)</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:0cm 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;Hello,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;As an example, the following configuration:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;- In a DGN.lib I have all my text styles and are available ion every drawings.&lt;br /&gt; - I have created new Border-Seed-Files with these text styles and the used styles are now integrated as a local style in the Border-Seed-File (recognizable by the blue tick in the text style window).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;So far everything is ok.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;But now my thoughts and fears ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;If somebody later changes and saves one of the used text styles, all texts in this drawing will be adjusted accordingly.&lt;br /&gt; This would lead to texts from the Border being changed unintentionally!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;So my question is, does it make sense to work in a Border-Seed-File with text styles or should it be better to put all the texts on text style &amp;quot;none&amp;quot; at the end just before releasing them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="background:white;line-height:18.0pt;margin:18.0pt 0cm 18.0pt 0cm;text-align:start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:&amp;#39;Helvetica&amp;#39;,sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"&gt;I hope I could explain my fears and would be glad if you could tell me your personal opinions and how you are working on that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If now I move these cells on my drawing, either with the move command or drag with the mouse, the data fields of the cells lose the text style names !!!&lt;br /&gt;The formatting of the data fields remains as defined in the text style &amp;quot;consolas in 0.06&amp;quot;, but they no longer have the named text style !!&lt;br /&gt;Selection with the Element Selection Tool for this named text style is no longer possible ....!?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have tried a lot to find the cause.&lt;br /&gt;The only solution is to delete the existing data fields in the cell library and replace them with new ones. Then it works without problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When comparing the element information between the old data fields and the newly created, I noticed something with the RAW DATALINKAGES.&lt;br /&gt;The old data fields have the value 3, with corresponding 3 binary entries in the extended linkages window. There are 3 binary entries &amp;quot;Type 0x80d4, Words 16&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;The new data fields, however, have the value 1 under RAW DATALINKAGES, with only one entry &amp;quot;Type 0x80d4, Words 16&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(I do not know whether this has something to do with the problem, but I would be interested in what this information under RAW DATA mean)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, I could not find out more :(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I am afraid that this problem could also exist on many other cells in our libraries, I would like to know what is the reason and what is the best way to solve them and avoid this problems for the future.&lt;br /&gt;It would also be important to know how I could check all my libraries, with small workload as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot&lt;br /&gt;regards&lt;br /&gt;Raphael&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Some questions about display resolution and a configuration for a new workstation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I&amp;#39;m going to configure a new workstation, consisting of a DELL Workstation &amp;quot;T5810&amp;quot; and 4 Dell UltraSharp displays.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I mainly work with MicroStation V8i SS3, much in 2D and some 3D graphics.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Additional to this, I also use EPLAN for electrical schematics, usual Office programs and databases.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;OS is 64bit Windows7.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I would not risk a bad buy, so I would like to have a few opinions&amp;hellip;..&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONFIGURATION FOR NEW WORKSTATION:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- Processor: Intel Xeon E5-1630 v3 (4 cores, 3.7 GHz, 10 MB)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- RAM: 32 GB 2133 MHz DDR4 (4x8 GB) RDIMM ECC&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- Graphic Card: AMD FirePro W5100, 4 GB, 4 DP&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- Power Supply 825W&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- Hard disk: SATA 3.5 &amp;quot;500GB 7200&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Is this configuration ok?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Enough memory?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Graphics card recommended? Enough memory and enough power for my 4 monitors in a suitable resolution?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Would maybe the installation of a SSD hard drive be recommended?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISPLAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Currently I am working on following displays:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;2x DELL U2311H, 23 &amp;quot;, 16: 9, pixel pitch of 0,265mm, resolution 1920x1080 at 60 Hz,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;1x DELL 2007FP, 20 &amp;quot;, 4: 3, pixel pitch of 0.255mm, resolution 1600x1200 at 60 Hz,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 23 &amp;quot; 16: 9 has not made me really happy because of the lack of height compared to my old 21&amp;quot; 4: 3 displays.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Therefore actually I only want to buy 16:10 displays&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Since with increasing size this problem seems to disappear and I also have found interesting 16:9 devices, I am not sure what the best is&lt;br /&gt;and need your experience and decision support.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I am also very uncertain about the display resolution. What is good or perhaps a no-go ...?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Maximum working distance to the screens is approximately 90cm!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MY SELECTION FOR NEW DISPLAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;DELL U2415, IPS panel, 24 &amp;quot;, 16:10, pixel pitch of 0.27mm, resolution 1920x1200 at 60 Hz&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;DELL U2515H, IPS panel, 25 &amp;quot;, 16: 9, pixel pitch of 0.216mm, resolution 2560x1440 at 60 Hz&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;DELL U2717D, ​​IPS panel, 27 &amp;quot;, 16: 9, pixel pitch of 0.2331mm, resolution 2560x1440 at 60 Hz&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Since 27&amp;rdquo; perhaps could be a little too much, or is this just a matter of habit ... :)), I actually like 25&amp;quot; quite well. Unfortunately, this is again a 16: 9 format!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unusually for the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;25&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt; is the high resolution of &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;2560x1440&lt;/span&gt;, which usually found only on 27&amp;quot; displays!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;How does this relate in Microstation?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Is this high resolution rather better for displaying and working on the screen?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;How does Microstation run on a 25&amp;rdquo; display with that higher resolution?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In summary:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- What screen size, by using 4 displays and 90cm working distance, would be good / the best ? 24 &amp;quot;, 25&amp;quot;, 27 &amp;quot;...?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- What format should be the best for CAD, 16:9 or 16:10, or depending on the display size ...?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;- What is the best resolution, what is advantageous and what an absolute no-go?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Thanks for reading to the end .... :)) &amp;nbsp;and for any help.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On the picture attached an overview of the different sizes and formats, with my current 23&amp;rdquo; 16:9 display shown in red.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Regards&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Raphael&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;Hello &lt;br /&gt;I am facing a strange problem when filling in data fields, please see attached video. &lt;br /&gt;I create an array that consists of several data fields separated by a dash.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I can handle all data fields and fill in the data fields with the copy data field tool, except the last data field in the array. &lt;br /&gt;If I add a additional data field to this array the problem &amp;quot;shifts&amp;quot; to the last data field an so forth..... if adding another data field!&lt;br /&gt;If at the end of the line, after the last data field, I add a character like a dash everything works perfectly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;Gridlock and Snaplocks are off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens here .....?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;I need urgently help for this issue.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;many thanks&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;Regard&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a issue by placing a cell relative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cell was created with the level 1, 2 &amp;amp; 3.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I place it relative and the active level for ex. is 10, normaly the cell will be placed with the levels 10, 11 &amp;amp; 12.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But this will not work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Level 1 will be placed as level 8, level 2 as level 9 and level 3 as level 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I use V8i SS3 8.11.9.459 and have following additional informations:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- The cell&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;a &amp;quot;bigger&amp;quot; cell with&amp;nbsp;more then 1000 elements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Creating a little test cell with 3 circles on different level and placing them relativ will work correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- After creating a new cell library and creating a new cell from this &amp;quot;bigger&amp;quot; graphic,&amp;nbsp;placing it relativ will also working good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the reason&amp;nbsp;for this issue?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems the problem will be the cell library....!?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because I have a lot of cells, I hope I did not to have to create a new cell library with all this stuf....&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raphael&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
