Problem Description
When I try to copy or move or manipulate vector data it affects my raster data.
Steps to Resolve
Defect # 25139
has been filed for a way to disable raster when working with MicroStation tools.
This happens because starting in MicroStation XM, raster images are considered to be elements that can be placed on levels.
Steps that can be done to avoid raster data manipuation.
• In Raster Manager dialog, double click the desired raster
• In the Element Information dialog, go to Extended tab
• Then, find the Locked field and set it at Locked value
==========================================
If you are using images that are georeferenced do the following.
After georeference image is attached double click on the image name in raster manager to bring up the Element Information box for the image. Then in the geometry section set the Geopriority to sister file or raster header (which ever one you are using). Then in Raster Manager turn on the Read-Only toggle for the image. This will not let the image scale or move because it would edit the sister file or header. This doesn't work if your images aren't georeferenced unfortunately. If they aren't georeferenced then you have to make sure the raster isn't in your selection set before using the tools.
==========================================
In Element Selection expand it and look at the listing under Element Type. If it shows Raster Attachment then click on it in the list and it will be removed from the list and you will then be able to make changes to the vector data and it will not affect the raster images
==========================================
You can try setting Workspace > Preferences > Category Raster Manager > Tab General > Disable Delete Element Tool on Selected Rasters.
==========================================
Another solution with some limitations, is to define one level for raster attachment images and to lock this level.
==========================================
You can also lock a raster image, which will prevent the raster image from being moved, copied or manipulated.
Double click on the raster image name in Raster Manager and In Element Information > Extended section change Locked to be Locked.
==========================================
You can also freeze the level the image is on and this will keep it from doing anything also.
