As mwlong suggests, the error message shown in the screen capture indicates that MicroStation is having issue locating this AutoCad SHX font. You should either be ensuring the font is located within the folder defined with either configuration variables…

Hi Laryn,

at first, please read and follow the best practices. To tag the post "MicroStation" is not enough, because there are several generations and many different versions used, so even when an answer can be similar, where to find or set something…

Adding to what mwlong said, if it is a true type font, and it exists in a font resource file (.rsc  file) I would expect this kind of output.

Way back in the V7 days the only way to use your Windows TrueType fonts in MicroStation was to import them into…

Closest i can get is using $(PW_WORKDIR) but that doesn't include the dms folder

Thanks, but not close enough.  Consider this comment from the MicroStation Forum by mwlong: We need the PW path. If a subconsultant looks at a pdf file…

I agree with mwlong it's probably cased by missing definition of fonts (symbols).

With regards,

MicroStation's command engine works like this...

1. Start a command (e.g. place line)
2. That command remains active until you do one of those…

Hi Angela,

in addition to comments from mwlong and Maria Garcia, I recommend to share local log in this forum. You can obtain it directly from Exception dialog, click on "See detailed local log..." text.

Probably more than that will be required…

do you know how can we change the selection area color?

as mwlong wrote, it's not possible.

What is in AutoCAD displayed using colors (green / blue for everything inside / crossing elements), in MicroStation is displayed by the selection…

Hi Daniel,

a solution provided by mwlong using F key is one alternative.Another is to use already mapped keys:

• Esc changes the focus to "home" (top level)
• Enter moves the focus to key-in dialog, regardless it's open or not.

It means using…

Hi Todd,

I agree with mwlong to try the file as reference what you should try. If the file is corrupted a bit only, sometimes it's possible to access them as reference, because it's simpler comparing to opening for full read/write access.
