Editing Item Types

Is it possible to edit multiple item types at once?

I have multiple .cel files with multiple models within each that all have a common item type "manufacturer". I would like to edit some of the "manufacturer" for some .cel files, without changing all of them by changing it in the dgnlib file. Is there an easier way to do this rather than going into each model in each .cel file and clicking on each item to then edit its item type info?

  • Which version (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation are you using?

    It's not exactly clear what you want to do with your Item Type.  An Item Type is defined to have one or more properties.  It's each property that is assigned user data...

    • Redefine Item Type manufacturer
    • Modify the value one of manufacturer's properties

    Either MicroStation's batch processor tool or a custom app.  It rather depends on your answer to my questions above.
