Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is any way to bulk drop/convert fields to normal/static text yet in Microstation CE?
We're thinking of putting together a vba to read all fields and duplicate their values and properties as normal text but it is massively inefficient.
Regards,
Mark
This is broken in Connect U10. The Drop element, application element doesn't work which would be the obvious way to do it. Might be simplest to do it in V8i until it gets fixed.

Not only that, I need to use Drop Line Style and it doesn't do anything. I need to do that in V8i. One more step out of the way of production.

You would have thought that basic testing would have revealed this, but apparently not. Connect remains very hard to sell to users with so many bugs.
Thanks guys, funny enough I need it urgently to get past a bug exporting OpenRoads Designer dgn fields to DWG.
Surely already reported as a defect?

Just tested in U11 - still no good.
One annoying thing - if I drop the field to static text using SS4 (using Drop Complex - Application element doesn't seem to do anything?), it stays static in SS4. If I open the same file in CE, it is now dynamic again and updates.
It will turn into permanently static text in SS4 if I drop Complex the field, open the text in the editor and accept it without making any change, but its not practical for me to do this in bulk.
