Geospatial Administrator existing dgn file

Ica Guban

Hello,
I have got a problem, and I haven't found any tools in Bentley Map system for this problem.
The problem:
I want to insert an existing dgn file into an XFM project.
Dgn file is connected to a database (MS Access). I would like to connect one of the fields of the database with a feature of the XFM project, like PBA value:
For example:
connect Lot Feature with LotID of database like PBA value.
I defined the Lot Feature in the Geospatial Administrator according to next figure.
Thank you for your help.

    If the DGN is already connected to Access then you need to define the database in the XFM project. To do so, go to the database node in the GSA and add the ODBC data source name. Create a feature that describes one of the features in your existing DGN. Add a new property but select Database property. This will display a list of tables in your database and allow you to select the one that is connected to your feature. Select the properties that should be made available. You can then add a placement method that will create the appropriate subfeatures to hold the annotation text. Define the symbology as required including the PBA in the subfeature.
