Were going off topic here but....

yes its over 18 months old and still no progress and I voted for it way back... very disappointing.. this is one of the things that used to set mstn apart from all other software and I learned more from trying at home in my own time with home license that I ever could at work when its all pressure and billable hours...

I even help others through the forum and try or test via my home license for v8i... not so with CE...

Lorys,

Ian Lapper, Chairman of the UK Bentley User Group, posted a "vote" topic for getting back the home use availability.

vote in the little grey box top left of the item.

Best regards,

I'm swapping between versions for same files and not getting that kind of behavior, but no Pwise.. so it is probably how pwise is being set... maybe it needs to be different for CE...

Support moved to India your kidding, your still in Brussels ( your profile says so, don't panic no big brother spying here) .. you would think Europe has more users than Australia.... IMHO things just seem to be getting worse for us users every year .... eg no home license for CE. No datum patches to pre connect versions for any new GCS datums etc... I don't like being forced into using CE but its getting more and more that you have to.. I know we have to move on, v8i is now too old... its like that comfortable pair of slippers that are worn out but they are so comfortable you just don't want to throw them out and get new ones (sigh) .....

Thank you Jan,

there is clearly some strange behavior and it often jumps back to 12. As mentioned, I think it may come by jumping from V8i to CE back and forth. I created a documented ticket for this. Problem is that I can not reproduce. Just have screenshots. Today stable, we will see tomorrow. thanks again.

Best regards,

Nico

Hi Nicolas,

[quote userid="279028" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/191913/maximum-number-of-tags-in-tag-set"]Is it possible that the maximum number of Tags in a Tag Set is 12 ?[/quote]

No.

Of course some limit exists, but it is not 12 for sure.

[quote userid="279028" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/191913/maximum-number-of-tags-in-tag-set"]I do not seem to be able to have more than 12.[/quote]

I tried to create TagSet with more than 12 Tags in it and I see no problem.

As Jon wrote, can you provide DGN with your TagSet definition?

With regards,

Jan

And now all tags are back again. I do not understand.

Thank you Lorys,

I also use V8i SS4, but in combination with Connect Edition udate 13 - maybe that's the source of the problem. Sometimes we see different behaviour, sometimes it's the same. Yesterday I defined some 18 tags in a set (also for titleblocks with ProjectWise) , and out-of-the blue, I lost 6, returning me back to 12. I checked over and over again, the definitions are exactly the same as the others. I placed the complete tag set a few times. But now some tags of the set just disappeared. I created a Service Ticket. We'll see. But since support has been moved to India - the quality of the support is not what it used to be :-/

Thanks again for your feedback,

Best regards,

Nico

I'm using v8iss4...

open the tag set definition tool from element >tags>define see and count the number of tags in there right hand side scroll down

I have 2 tag sets in the same dgn one has 34 tags and the other has 20 tags not all of them are populated and not all set to display but they are there and available for use...

I use these in my title block to cover not only current rev but all future revs up to F and just turn off display of not used ones yet.

you will have difficulty adding extra tags to an existing tag set... as a tag set is set with the ones you built it with, it can be changed but its not straight forward like when you build it to start with... much easier to make an extra or additional new tag set with the extra tags you need...

Please supply a DGN file that contains your Tag Set definition.
