Text Nodes Not Shown in a Version of Microstation

what are the two versions of MicroStation being used ? Are there any addition apps running with these versions (IE: InRoads, GeoPak, etc,,) ? Is there a custom workspace being used by one version and not another ?
The "text node" option in view attributes is file specific so if it is on, it should be on for both versions.
I agree that maybe the file should be posted for testing.

hi all

attached is my mapping file. as you see ive clipped out all the data i dont want public. that was in the square. ive left 2 ends of data as you can see the data, which was Lidar Mapping, joins the 2 ends.

Chopped Lidar Mapping.dgn

the important thing here is when you 'Fit All' on my v08.11.07.171 SS1 Microstation i find the random Text Nodes at the top left of the file. my team members v08.11.09.459 SS3 doesnt find them.

I have turned off and on Text Nodes in Attributes, but they dont actually need to be on for Fit All to fit them. Obviously to see them it does but Fit All finds them in the earlier version Off or On. the later version doesnt find them Off or On.4

have i missed a setting somewhere?

The points contained in this design file you supplied are actually points coming from a POD point cloud file. They are not Text Nodes so any View Attributes settings would not affect their display operation. I'm going to assign your issue to the group for point cloud issues as someone there might be able to assist better.

Hi,

I checked this issue in MS SS3. There are 137 Point cloud POD files are attached to the dgn file.  

In the attached dgn file, POD files are missing so they are appear as red. So ideally it should not display in the view. But in this case I can see some elements in the view and if we do zoom in or out then elements get disappear on my machine. Will try to figure it out.

BTW, From Point Cloud manage dialog box you can do followings stuff with Point Cloud:

1) Attach POD file

2) Convert other point cloud format to POD,

3) Export attached POD to XYZ and POD.

4) Apply Presentation style to Point cloud data

5) Display On and Off point cloud in particular view.  

6) and many more..

Just added one video about Point Cloud Basics.

Thanks

I think the point cloud bit is a red herring.

The problematical elements are the text nodes.
At first I couldn't see them either (on SS4)
So I used Select By to isolate all the text nodes in the file.
There were 27, 2 of which were populated and 25 were empty.
The two nodes with data were visible in the small bit of data below the blank-out, and the node markers turned off and on correctly using the View Attributes box.
I the turned everything off except the levels with text nodes. Fit All only showed the small area with the two nodes.
Then I put some text in one of the empty nodes on level FULLMAPPING * Check, and all of the text node markers sprang into life, visible at the top left of drawing area, as described, and toggle correctly.
The remaining node, on the Bridges level had to be activated separately.
All extremely puzzling, and I can find no mention of settings for empty nodes being different to those of full ones!
