Jeff,

Bulls eye! After I create new 2D DGN buffor and overlay options are enable and now BM works perfect! I cannot belive that we did not use BM on our highway project before! Thanks you guys.

Regards,

Piotr

Piotr,

Are you in a 3D design file? If so the "Buffer..." and "Overlay..." tools will be disabled.

Jerry,

On both: '...current DGN file' and '...new DGN file' tools do not work.

May I ask for your email adress, please - I will send you DGN, SHP, SHX and DBF files?

Regards,

Piotr

Yep, From your desciption on the original posting, I did do this thru the Inroads install (

started up inroads
Loaded the Map application
imported a shape file
opened a new Map Manager model
selected the layer in the map model

) and the buffer and overlay was available.

Can you repeat the above with a new drawing and let me know ???

If that works for you, can you send me the drawing that you have done the shape file import into (via email if it is not too large , ie > 2mb) so I can look at it ??

Thanks !

Jerry.

Jerry,

No, it does not. For both 'Make Active for Editing' and 'Stop Editing' buffer and overlay are disable. We tested this on MS + BM and it works but when we start BM with InRoads running - does not.

Piotr

If you go back to the original work file ( I noticed that the drop down menu has the 'Stop Editing ...' on it ), and then try to do your buffers and overlays, does it work ?
