...also, if you do not want to disable the default DFS (Dynamic Feature Scoring) processing, in the Interoperability dialog, you can simply select the feature class to be exported and set the " Mapped Name " property in the " General " section which should…

This issue has been filed as TR 251510 and is scheduled to be resolved in a Q1 2009 Bentley Map V8 i maintenance release. Regards, Jeff Bielefeld [Bentley]

In an effort to broaden the communities knowledge of the Property Based Annotation capabilities available in Bentley Map, I've posted a new " Using Property Based Annotation (PBA) Replacement Text During Interoperability Imports " wiki article which provides…

...not familiar with that particular error, but at this time I would recommend the use of Visual Studio 2005 Edition when developing applications for the Bentley Map V8 i (SELECTseries 1) platform. Also when adding/replacing references to accomodate your…

Thank you for your question. Unfortunalty, it is not possible for now. I pointed that request to Product Management of Bentley Map. Thank you.

Tom, The only import tool that I'm aware of is the "Cadastre > Topology > Import LandXML" one. As mentioned, you may find that development of a custom importer may be required. Maybe you can contact me offline and we can further discuss your specific…

Jiri, For you adhoc connection (e.g. without a schema) code, you will need to add the following highlighted lines to the connectAdhoc method: public void connectAdhoc(string userName, string password, string serviceName) { GDI.GDIExplorerOracleImportsNode…

Karl, You should be able to use the " Change Attributes " command along with a " Fence Filter " to move your elements to a new level. For example... Make a copy of your design file for backup purposes until you have validated the changes. …

Krister, Thank you for your input and we will take your recommedation for an improved message under consideration. Regarding the use of a configuration variable to change the short transaction behavior, unfortunately long transaction support is only…

Janice, If all feature instances are to come from your single SHP file, you could create 2 attachments in the Interoperability application and use different attribute filters to identify one set of features for your point-cell instances, and another…

Hi Ian, This was fairly easy to reproduce, just attempting to open a TAB file with spaces in the filename seems to do the trick. It seems to be an issue with bot the V8 XM Edition and V8i versions of Bentley Map. Sounds like something that…

Tom, I believe a change request that could potentially expose text string values as business properties for inferred features would be worthwhile. This would allow you to simply open a MicroStation design file in Bentley Map and use the Interoperability…

...if you connect to the proper database during Bentley Map or Bentley PowerMap session startup, then the RDBMS properties can be consumed by the "Interoperability" application including "Preview" as well as general "Search" and "Data Browser" capabilities…

Greetings Karl, Unfortunately I'm unable to duplicate the described behavior using the provided data set. There seems to be mismatch between the feature instances and the provided database. For example, I see many linear feature instances representing…

Greetings Jun, For further analysis, could you please compress and e-mail me a copy of the design file which produced this exception? Also what versions of MicroStation and Bentley Map are being used? If you are using an XFM schema with your project…

Erik, Would you be able to perform an i-model publishing test on a similar design file that does not contain any feature instances with special/accented characters in the feature class and business property names? I'm wondering if those characters…

Hi, In the Interoperability dialog, in addition to the symbology options, you can define a literal or a PBA. Please refer to Bentley Map Help file by clicking to the following link: docs.bentley.com/.../MicroStationMaphelp58.html Regards, Sebastien…

Jakob, A few questions. Do both views refer to the same base table? Is each view defined in such a way as to guarantee that all rows returned contain the same geometry type? For the AFL_BROEND feature class, what is the layer_gtype parameter…

Stefan, In the "xfmOracleExtensions" sample available in the online " Bentley Map - Development and Product Customization Guide ", take a look at the editInstance() method for an example of using XftCmdMgr.ActivateMethod() to open the "Edit" dialog…

Krister, I've posted a complete example here which includes a sample COM server written in C# which demonstrates one approach to calling the Bentley Map Interoperability managed API methods from VBA. The following sample VBA form should give you some…

Alder, To remove the orphans, you can use the following workflow: Create a new empty design file using the same seed file that was used to create the EXPORT_SHP_1.dgn design file. Open the newly created design file and reference attach EXPORT_SHP_1…

Hello Erik, I hope someone could give us a workaround/explanations about this issue. Until there, I filed an internal report about Importing GML attached file. As reference, the report number is TR 352487 . Best Regards,

Frank, Please refer to the Import ODBC and CSV data types thread for additional details and example. Regards, Jeff Bielefeld [Bentley]
