VBA - Bentley MAP detach XFM Feature record from graphical element.

After I got neither the community nor Bentley support a useful answer, I'm after a long look fond at these command:
Keyin:
fence feature remove all

But no xfm features are removed.

Hi

As far as I know you simply cannot remove properties from a XFM feature. You will have to extract the geometry and create a simpel microstation element with a databaselink, and then delete your XFM feature.

There are several graphical methods to remove XFM data from Features, making them MicroStation elements.  See this Support Solutions for some examples: Methods to drop an XFM Features to plain MicroStation elements?

Thought you were looking specifically for a VBA example.

Hi GRJ,

I have no simple answer for your (sorry), but I'd like to ask what exactly do you want to achieve if talking about "no !! way to transfer the XFM data in an ordinary database"? Do you want to:

• Make a one-step export of XFM data attached to XFM elements to some relation database.
• Convert "XFM project with data stored in DGN file" to "XFM project using mslink to store data in a database".
• Drop anything related to XFM from elements and design file and to convert existing XFM DGN file into old style DGN file with mslinks (including data transfer)?

With regards,

Hi Jan,

I want to import cadastral shape areas ( files in SHP and DBF format) in Microstation how you said as "old style DGN with mslink".
For this I import the SHP/DBF files in bentley map, then I want to export the XFM data record to the odbc database connected with MSLINK to the graphical element .

With regards,
Josef
