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…

I see that PBA (Origin Z) is supported in Bentley Map but not available in the Geospatial Adminstrator user interface (existing CR 296636 for this issue). As a workaround, you can manually edit your schema file to add this PBA type(backup the file first…

Hello Bruce, For a feature element, Map will prepend the feature name to the MicroStation-provided locate path description. In the next Map release, Map will show the feature display name instead of the feature name. The display name may be set…

Success! Although I did not have much luck with PlaceAnnotation2 (It seemed aimed at interactive placement, and I could never quite get the subfeature to rotate), I adapted a function provided by Bentley services. The main deal was to set the rotation…
