I am doing some work on an asset inventory, and we have the initial location data provided to us as an SHP file.
When I reference in the information, the elements are zero-length points. I understand that is how they come across, but is there any way to make them display as a cell or a symbol?I know that I could get the coordinates and ImportXYZ to create cells in those locations, but I really would like to maintain access to the DB attributes I can see when I "Information" the points.
Speaking of which, is there any way in vanilla MicroStation or in InRoads to label these SHP points with one or more of the attributes as text? Can I use Fields for that?
Thank you.MaryBMicroStation V8i SS4Power InRoads V8i SS2
Hi,
Bentley Map will handle this for sure.
You may also want to try our FDO Reader which will import most geospatial formats including shape files. It´s super easy to place cells and/or text for any point data.
The trail version will work for 30 days.
