How can I change data field to normal text in micro station v8i.
I don't think you can in V8i. Connect has a drop button when you use the Edit Enter Data Field command but V8i doesn't have this feature.
Just done some more checking and according to the Microstation wiki you should be able to use the Drop Element tool with Application Elements ticked. I couldn't get this to work. It said it had dropped the data field but it was still a data field and still responded to the command so not sure that's a solution.
thanks for your valuable reply...
Hi Sajeesh,
I agree wtih Duncan, it cannot be done easily in V8i, because Drop tool does not work correctly.
If your request is about hundreds texts and design files and will be repeated, maybe VBA macro is a way to go. But I am not sure whether VBA offers such functionality.
With regards,

do you want to do this with one piece of text or does this need to be done in an entire file or files ?
