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.
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.

Hi Leonard,
Thanks, i have SR 7000842258, but it is very recent and no defect number yet. Id be surprised if this hasn't been reported yet...
I'll try the roundtrip, but understandably that would be a very undesirable workflow considering how easy it was in the older SS4 version.
Defect 965937 has been logged for this and is under review.
Thanks Leonard
This looks to be resolved in CE Update 13
