Detailing Symbol Styles

During testing I've created a new style and now wish to delete from the system.

I am also having a problem with the Cells being read from multiple files - there seems to be a never ending loop as to where these

symbol cells are being read from.

In the DetailingSymbolStyles.dgnlib the one I want to delete is greyed out as per attached

Where do I go to delete the unwanted style - this is a network company dataset

 

  • Hello,

    Are you sure that the 'HHH' style comes from DetailingSymbolStyles.dgnlib? Try some of the other DGNLib files, it can only be deleted from the DGNLib it was created in. To see the other DGNLib files, while in the Detailing Symbol Styles dialog, go to the File menu and see if the other DGNLib files are listed, they can be selected from here and MicroStation will open the selected file directly. See image below showing an example of this....

    Regards,



  • When you "hover" your mouse cursor over the "HHH" you should see which dgnlib this originates from (if it is not just a local style)
  • I have tried this prior to posting and I'm still stuck in a vicious loop and am going around in circles.
    Any other suggestions
  • This is  how  i would do it...

    The dgnlib file in question is being  pathed  so you cant  change it whilst its in use

    So close all uses of msntn  and with explorer  move the  file  out of the  dgnlibs folder  defined by  the workspace config  and into your c: \temp folder

     make a duplicate and change the extension to old or orig so you dont  loose it entirely  and its as it was before  you mucked with it

    open mstn a  new file and  try to use dim with the dimstyle  you will see if it came from the moved file it is not available...

    You can now open the customise tools and open the actual dgnlib file and remove the offending style

    now return the dgn lib to where it came from...

    Restart mstn and  all should be  well

    however you may not have access to the dgn lib  due to IT or cad manger  restrictions... then you'll need help from them to do this...
