Re: "Triforma has intentionally restricted changes to this element"
Damon Aspden
We had a problem similar but what I was doing was exporting to dwg for our consultants. The interesting part was that I was giving these guys dwgs exported from BA and they were using Microstation by itself. And they still had that dialog box …

Hi Steve, thanks a lot for your detail explanation, I have one question not directly related to spaces annotations, but it relates to your text, so I don't want to start a new thread. The idea of the separation of model (3D) or drawing …

Re: Help with Extractions!! (Beginner)
Steve Cocchi
Using the Dataset Explorer, there's a pick-list that allows you to select which aspect of the part to edit. In your case, you'd want the Drawing Symbology settings to match the Definition settings. Though I have to admit, that's pretty unusual... Most…

Re: Automatically update Extractions??
Steve Cocchi
Eric was referring to Building Views, aka, Drawing Views. They are a real time method for doing what you had described. Using Drawing Extractions would require some type of macro/script, but you'd have to be fairly knowledgable to create something…
