Batch process- Are these steps possible to do using batch process?

The CSV remapping  will most likely do 90 % of you colour and  level renaming and weights...

I assume even though everything is on level 1  that they at least used different colours  for specific things which you could then remap as level names ie

if bolts are always red then you could choose to CSV remap red to new level FASTNERS and weight 1 and this can be done as a batch conversion process too

The reassigning a  colour table - easist way  is to  record a macro and and  do the steps by hand, then  you can run the  macro from the batch processor I would do that  first as it will change your colours of existing elements 

You can reassign the  colour table with  ATTACH COLORTABLE  NEW TABLE NAME.TBL  

IF the new colour table is not in the same path as the  active or default ones in Microstation  then you will need to have the  full file path and name and its better to use "    " incase they are spaces in the name...

To remove unused levels just  use the  compress option and set it to delete unused levels once manually then there after this can also be  done in batch processor with keyin compress design

the save settings keyin is  FILE DESIGN  again add this to your batch process script..

The scale  issue  is a bit more complex can you upload an original untouched V7 file ie dont convert to v8...

I think it may be a positional units or  just units issue, can you also post a copy  of your current  v8i see file for comparison..

Hi Lorys,

I uploaded 2 dgn files. One v7 and one v8. The resolution is 100 in the v8 file. If i set it to 100000 the scale is correct. Unfortunatly it did not work out just recording a macro of the steps to change the resolution to 100000 and run it as a script. I guess that would have been to simple... You told me to also uppload a v8i seedfile? Im not avare of using any spesific seed file when converting from v7 to v8. If im using a seed file ( that i can not see from the v8 save settings ) i guess it is probably the standard 3d metric seedfile delivered from bentley.

Do you have any idea how i could rescale/thange resolution using batch convert/process?

Thanks

Helge

107136.dgn  107136.dgn

Two files having the same name?  It would have been helpful to label those files so we could tell which is which.  For example, 107136-V7.dgn and 107136-V8.dgn.

What I wanted to do was to remove it, and attach another colortable. I am able to do that but the new colortable will not stick

Did you Save Settings after attaching the new table?  Ctrl-F or File Design or menu File|Save Settings.

By the way, you've hijacked your own thread.  Changing the colour table is way off the original topic of batch files.  Prefer to start a new thread for a new question.

we covered the  colour table attachment  in previous post

Attaching a batch script which could help for rescaling v7 files(resolution 1000) to v8 DGN with resolution 10000.

Script checks file resolution so won't scale file if resolution is already 10000.

So you did!  But that didn't stop helgeh asking the same question again ...

Good post!  I like the use of one-line VBA statements to perform logical operations that otherwise you can't do in a batch script.
