Context Editor - Extract Contours

You can't. Ask Bentley why they still use outdated limitations. 

For some limits there are configuration variables like - STM_PRESENTATION_QUALITY

Also extract raster DEM there is same undocumented limitation which is outdated as there is now enough memory using 64-bit version. 

For DEM there is a variable STM_EXTRACTGRID_USESUBRES=1 which reduces the point count but it results in poor accuracy raster

For contours try STM_EXTRACTCONTOURS_USESUBRES=1

Other variables are STM_EXTRACTTM_USESUBRES, STM_VIEWSHED_GRID_MAX_PIXEL_COUNT

I had same question regarding extract raster it resulted in  Enhancement Request 981124 from year 2018 and counting. Most likely will not be implemented as we have to wait forever until 3SM has same usability as STM.

Hi Oto,

I was extracting from STM. Now I have tried on 3SM and is done.

Thanks mate

That should work. Unfortunately still not able to extract Raster Grid from 3SM. 

Exporting contours to CAD gets different, you know any way for the contours still the same as on DGN?

Microstation also is CAD or you mean ACAD?

Are they as lines or curves? For curves it is best to avoid Bsplines.

I mean export to a DWG file.
