Recently my ability to change the Z Origin of text in Properties->Geometry has stopped working. I can adjust other element's elevations just fine, but text no longer works.
This is file specific and also effects new files from seed. Some existing files it works. Other files it won't. I can adjust it just fine in existing problem files with ORD.
What setting got flipped where the ability to change this to 0 broke?
Thank you!
Microstation CE Update 15 - 10.15.02.11
Bug 660654: Cannot Change Geometry Z Value Of Text In DGN Files has not yet been addressed.
As per Andrew Bell's suggestion, I also filed a new CS request. I don't know if this helps or not given that there already is one supposedly being looked into but worth a try... CS0045014
It affects EVERY user running MS CE from U15 to 2023. So, at least hundreds of thousands of users globally?
Examples were posted above starting April 26, 2021.
Ran restoredefaults and got this:
Does not bode well. And no, once again, restoredefaults did not address this issue. Although it did fix a different one.
Priority is moslty related to how critical the issue is and how many users affected.
Can you post an example? Did you try restoredefaults?
Andrew, I appreciate your response to my filing a new case on this issue.
Bentley needs to hear this was a core functionality of the program that the developers broke and still can't re-implement after OVER TWO YEARS. When I submitted my new SR with a 'high' priority (because TWO YEARS), it was backed down to 'medium'. Promised to be fixed in a future release. I've been hearing that for too (two) long.
It effects EVERY MicroStation user from U15 to 2023.
This was an in-process case that was never attended to or resolved, then dumped awaiting one of us to put it in the new CSM Service system.
Priority should remain 'high' given everything documented above and the lapsed time. Bentley has developers working the world-round. Six months to a year for another 'future release', to only Beta test it and probably still won't see the functionality returned is a hollow promise. Wait for the next release! Digital Twins! Four-D design!
The workaround, as suggested and the results described by Peter Vallieres, doesn't work. It creates more work.
It's reasons like this that people who have been using MicroStation for two to three decades (like me) have come to despise this program and Bentley for it. We're tired of making excuses to our users.
