Hey All,
Just wanted to ask if folks out there can define the 3 types of units of measure that are displayed in Design File Settings and GCS. Please define what the Linear Units are, the Advanced Settings Resolution units are, and what the GCS units are. Also, what is their relationship with one another?
Linear Units: Are these what you are reading out when measuring? So when I have XY coordinates displayed, they're supposed to be displaying values in whatever unit of measure is listed for Linear?
Advanced Settings Resolution Units: I understand what resolution is, but where does the unit of measure come into play, and more importantly, what is the relationship between this and the Linear Units unit of measure? I assume these and the linear units should match, although I have heard of circumstances where they differ.
GCS: Establishing your GCS is to the effect that you're saying what projection/coordinate system your data is in
I am using OpenRoads Designer Connect Ed. 2020 Rev. 3. I dont normally use Microstation but figured it was okay to post to MS for this type of question (am I wrong for doing so?) I figured I'd have better chances of getting answers that way.
I don't think that is exactly what Dave is asking. Your report is run on one file and reports references attached to that one file. So if you have 150 files you want this information from, you would have 150 reports - or did I read it wrong ?
what I believe Dave wants is an overall way of getting the information from many files into one report instead of having just one report per file - or did I get that wrong also ?

Tim - you are correct. A process that would open each DGN/model in a directory and create 1 report showing Working Units, Resolution Units, Global Origin, Geographic Coordinate System, 2D/3D for each DGN/model
I had a VBA years ago that did something like that. I can't seem to find it just now. If I remember correctly it wasn't all that hard to do. The tricky part was interpreting the Master/Sub units from VBA into something a normal person would understand.

As I wrote, it's an example. I don't know if MicroStation reports can be run on multiple files, but it would be useful.

We had a QA tool that did something similar...
That tool was for V8 and there are no plans to migrate it to CONNECT.
