It&amp;#39;s quite brutal to try to move through training when 75% of the time is spent waiting for a list to load. This is not an exaggeration. Total tutorial times are shown can be done in a few hours&amp;nbsp; but will take all day because of watching the list of videos page to load.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;With technology today, and what I have seen from other software training sites, there has to be another way to make this more user friendly.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just beginning with launching the video in another tab vs the same tab and losing the list of videos that you just spent 5 minutes to watch load.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trust me, I already tried opening a second browser to start the list loading while watching a video. The lists of videos never load while the other browser already running.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I saw another user post &amp;quot;how does Bentley expect people to use this?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I agree. The efficiency is so low that it is truly seen as a waste of time, my group does not want to use it and we cant spend that much time away from projects.&amp;nbsp; I would go so far as calling it a risk by this incredible wait time and risking the video not even cover what you need.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is Bentley having any conversations about the issues with Bentley Learn Server taking forever to load just the list of videos?&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m sure it would be used more if it wasn&amp;#39;t an unnecessary&amp;nbsp;time hog.&lt;/p&gt;

&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;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;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONFIGURATION FOR NEW WORKSTATION:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&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;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISPLAYS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&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;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;MY SELECTION FOR NEW DISPLAYS:&lt;/span&gt;&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;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Unusually for the &lt;strong&gt;25 &amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;is the high resolution of &lt;strong&gt;2560x1440&lt;/strong&gt;, which usually found only on 27&amp;quot; displays!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&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;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In summary:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&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;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;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;but I could not change the class in any way... :(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a possibility to to that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Referring to my post here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/109072/view-independent-fill"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../view-independent-fill&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;regarding the permanent filling of surfaces, I come to the programmers forum and ask for help.&lt;br /&gt;Jon has already posted a few variables, which let me hoping that my intention should be possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to fill areas with a permanent fill, but I do not know how that works exactly.&lt;br /&gt;The suggested MDL and VBA solution ...., is that a macro to set up the basic settings for the fill to &amp;quot;permanent&amp;quot;, so that all new created filled shapes will automatically be filled permanently?&lt;br /&gt;Or does it only work in a way to create elements (filled shapes) also with the macro?&lt;br /&gt;Or is it possible to select a non permanent filled shape and running a macro to set it to permanent fill?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I really have no idea how this should work :(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would be very glad if someone could explain to me how permanent surfaces can be generated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;Regards&lt;br /&gt;Raphael&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Delete binding of Textstyle on placed texts</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/programming/microstation_programming/f/microstation-programming---forum/144066/delete-binding-of-textstyle-on-placed-texts</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Dec 2017 08:26:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:c6edec66-70d3-4cdc-9d86-ae337d8fdcc2</guid><dc:creator>Raphael :)</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wonder if there&amp;#39;s a way to use key-in or macro to delete bindings between text styles and placed text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to delete only the binding of a placed text and not changing the attributes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That means, after placing a text by using a textstyle named &amp;quot;CONSOLAS 0.2 CC&amp;quot; with the attributes font = consolas / height&amp;amp;width = 0.2 / justification = center-center, I want to set the used text style attribute for this texts to &amp;quot;none&amp;quot;, without changing the attributes to the active attributes of the &amp;quot;none&amp;quot; text style.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose is to make texts independent of the previously used text styles.&lt;/p&gt;
