“Point-cell” type feature of which the size is based on a data table field - Bentley Map V8i-S3 & Bentley Geospatial 08.11.09.107

 

I want to create a feature of which the geometry type is
“Point-cell”.

The size of cell (scale) will be determine by a numeric value(field)
in the data table.

In the Symbology  dialog box the size can be controlled
by entering a numeric value for the following;

Cell XScale

Cell YScale

Cell ZScale

I would like these values to be determine by a value(field) in
the data table and these values might be unique for each feature placed.

Have you created such a feature before or know how this can
be done?

Regards,

  • Hi,

    In the Bentley map help file, there is what I found:

    In the "registering features" page go to #3 under "To Register Features" sub-section: docs.bentley.com/.../MicroStationMaphelp55.html

    "If any of the features are point features, there will be an option to define a column that can be used to store the angle of the feature as well as columns to store the X and Y scale value. The angle and scale of cells and text will be stored in the selected columns. The registration wizard automatically looks for columns named MS_XSCALE, MS_Y_SCALE and MS_ANGLE. If these columns are present in the data table then they will automatically be populated in the appropriate fields for the point feature. Enter the appropriate settings and click Next.

    X Scale and Y Scale are unit less values that simplify magnify (scale > 1.0) or shrink (0.0 < scale <1.0) or leave unchanged (scale = 1.0) the default dimensions of the element used to represent the point feature. 
    An X Scale of 2.0 would double the width of the feature; 0.5 would divide the width by two. The actual size of the feature depends upon the dimensions of cell used, or in the case of text, the size of the font and the number of characters in the text string. 

    Leave these columns blank if scale and angle are not required per feature. The values defined in the feature definition will be used when the features are queried from Oracle."

     

    I hope that helps.

    Best Regards,


    This is a test
