With MicroStation CONNECT you need neither tags nor Item Types to report on element data. Andrew's description shows how to write an Area Report, and my article about Area Reports tells much the same story (with the benefit of a DGN example).

Thanks for the mention! AreaAnnotator CONNECT Edition has been available for some time. AreaAnnotator V8i is still available.

AreaAnnotator V8i remains freeware. AreaAnnotator CONNECT Edition includes several new features (e.g. alternative measurement units) and requires purchase of a license.

The thing is, how to prepare report where:

- shapes are inside predefined named boundary

- shapes can be sliced by named boundary

- shapes on different level

- result with cumulative area of shapes on level from named boundary.

eg. Level name Area

Pavement 969

Road 1269

You haven't told us which version (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation you are using. Let's assume that it's MicroStation CONNECT, in which case you can write a Report to harvest areas.

The following Wiki and Blog posts might be of assistance to start with.

When creating a report you can use the DGN Element type of Shape for the selection method...

and then use the Area as a column in the Report.

Which would output something like the following report.

I don't know, but if it cant , then as work around would be to create a tag set and tag the said objects then you can create tag report or in CE create items and use that for reporting.. in V8i we had some nice tools from LA solutions UK such as Tagger it would tag all shapes in a file and his Area Annotator, to label and report the areas I think Jon has upgraded these to CE so worth going their web site and check these tools out , they were free last time I looked...
