I'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic,,but here goes
I am importing a shp file (points) as cells, that have rotation values included in the attributes. How can I rotate the cells to those values other than using element information and changing the cell angle to the rotation value manually for each one?
For additional information, please refer to the "Bentley Map XFM Programmers Reference Guide" and "Bentley Map VBA Programmers Reference Guide" documentation delivered with the product.

Attached is very brief VBA example (and sample design file) which uses XFT to rotate cell feature instances using a "ROTATION" property. Please note this sample does not perform the following verifications...
...and therefore only serves as an simple example of using XFM property values to manipulate existing feature instances.
Jeff,
Where might these Reference Guides be found? You say "delivered with the product", but I do not see them in
C:\Program Files\Bentley\Documentation nor in
C:\Program Files\Bentley\Map\docs
and do they have cryptic names that don't look like "Bentley Map XFM Programmers Reference Guide"
Sorry to ask such dumb questions, but I find it very frustrating to find anything useful about programming with Bentley software, and I think these docs would help.
