I have two cells that are in the same cell library. I am trying to run a batch process to replaces cell 1 with cell 2 for an entire set of DGNS. Does anyone know what the command file for such a process would look like?
If you were doing just one DGN, you could use the CMD line or PowerShell to run the command featured in this thread: https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/103233/replace-cell-command
Despite what it looks like, however, this is not a batch process, and can only run on one file at a a time (to the best of my knowledge). In the CMD shell, it is easy enough to bring up, edit and rerun the command, but it could get tedious if you have a lot of files to do.
Unfortunately, the Microstation Keyins you would use to create a Batch Process for this particular action are not very good and require user input.
You could look into writing a VBA macro to replace cells globally in a drawing. That macro could be run through a batch process.
