RE: Where can I find Element Information (as in Bentley Map) in Open Cities?

In addition to Sebastien's comments, you can use the Element Selection Tool and the Properties button in the Drawing Aids tab to view the Properties. The Map Ribbon and it's workflows are described in this page: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geospatial/desktop/w/geospatial_desktop__wiki/43525/--opencities-map-connect-edition-ribbon

Hi Brandy,

"Element Information" in V8i has been renamed "Properties" in Connect. You may find the icon in the ribbon under Map > Home > Primary > Properties. Also available on right click menu. Of course, if you type-in "Properties" in Search Ribbon (F4), you will found out right away.

As additional information, from MicroStation help, here the following enhancements are made to properties:

Properties Dialog Deeper Integration
The Properties dialog now shows properties of any selection and is integrated with unified selection. The selection tree is improved to show more details. It now shows associated elements, named groups, items and other data of the element as child nodes. It is also integrated with tables (shows rows, columns, cells, etc.), parametric elements (you can expand and edit constraints and features), and so on.

Details Dialog
The Details dialog is now updated to show the details of any selected element or object. It is similar to Properties dialog, only that it shows properties in a grid.

Please retrieved more details in MicroStation Connect Edition Online help for more details about this tool.
I hope that helps.
