batch covert 3d to 2d & moving to origin point.

Hi everyone, i'm recently using microstation for some of our client requires it, i have no proper training in it so i hope someone could help me with the following questions.

1. could someone share how to batch convert a 3d to 2d, because i have alot of files to convert (actually it is suppose to be a 2d dwgs only but because there are some txt that has z value in it the program reads it as a 3d that was imported from autocad file)

2. please share also how to move the reference tblock together with the details inside it on the origin point which is 0,0,0 and also could be than as a batch process because of the numbers of the sheets that requires to be done.

Thank you in advance to everyone.

  • Hi Carl, looks like you want to move the whole graphics.

    If it is the same distance for all files? it should be easy. As Lorys describes you can do a vba recording.

    You could also script the commands and run it with "utilities>batch process" 

    the Key-in in my understanding should :  "choose everything into a selection set and then move it from point "a" to a point "b" in a certain distance"

    An example keyin would look like this:

                choose all;move icon;xy=0;dl=10000,10000

    This line put into a text file - with your values for x and y -  and then run with the "batch process" for your files should do the job. (do try to run all files in one go though- start with a few)

    Converting the files is done separately with the "utilities>batch converter"

    (I hold back a lot of whys here)
