&lt;div class="contnt"&gt;
&lt;div class="hidden_dlgctrl" id="dlgctrl_57"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;MODEL&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ACTIVE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&amp;lt;model_name&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;pays to use&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;fit view extended&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;file design ( at the end)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;so in&amp;nbsp;your case the modified script reads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&lt;em&gt;-------------------------------------------&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;MODEL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;ACTIVE&amp;nbsp;SHEET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;FIT VIEW EXTENDED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&lt;em&gt;choose all&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;replace cells extended&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;selview 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;choose none&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;&lt;em&gt;FILE&amp;nbsp; DESIGN&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;-----------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="sansserif"&gt;&lt;span class="nocaps"&gt;This then saves th changes so the sheet model is saved as the default on next opening too...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!--mce:protected %3C%21--%20end%20dialog.box.control%20--%3E--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="contnt"&gt;Remember it pays to name the sheet model always the same name&amp;nbsp; and case sensitive mine here is in this example&amp;nbsp;SHEET be careful&amp;nbsp;avoid spaces in model names or you need to enclose with quote marks &amp;quot;Sheet&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;A3&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="contnt"&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="contnt"&gt;Tip&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I use the first two lines and&amp;nbsp; file design in a batch script at end of projects to force&amp;nbsp; the sheet model to be the default&amp;nbsp; when opening a dgn in my&amp;nbsp; projects&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="contnt"&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="contnt"&gt;BTW don&amp;#39;t you&amp;nbsp;have to specify which cell otherwise all cells are updated?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Update Cell key-in for batch process?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/710236?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 May 2022 13:15:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7ea86c3c-4ee9-4ea8-b473-98b1f9c3eb2b</guid><dc:creator>Kyle Chism</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I had to make one minor edit but it worked for me.

&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the screenshot you have attached, Version 10.16.00.80 denotes the MicroStation(platform) version on top of which OpenRoads Designer CE - 2021 Release 1 is built.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt; The version of OpenRoads Designer is denoted in Year/Release sequence without a version number. Same will be implemented for MicroStation in upcoming releases. For example, MicroStation CONNECT Edition - 2022 Release 1.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: The full version can be checked from File &amp;gt; Help &amp;gt; About.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Update Cell key-in for batch process?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/688812?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Dec 2021 17:33:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:117ad3a2-891d-4e13-8156-4968111ca387</guid><dc:creator>Kevin van Haaren</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I posted an idea on the Microstation Ideas Portal suggesting being able to set model types in batch processor, still tagged as &amp;quot;needs review&amp;quot; though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ideas/MSR-I-703"&gt;Add additional &amp;quot;Initial Model&amp;quot; options to | MicroStation Ideas Portal (aha.io)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hmmm, trying Jon&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;Version&amp;#39; key in, the version reported in Message Center is different that the version reported in the About OpenRoads Designer dialog. I assume the key-in one is the MicroStation version that ORD is built on, but that isn&amp;#39;t confusing at all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However I found that I can use the following in a Batch Process:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;choose all&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;replace cell extended&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;selview 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;choose none&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This works fine in my sheet models that only have one cell (the sheet border).&amp;nbsp; It appears to honor my last-used tool setting of UPDATE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#39;t find a way in Batch Process to apply a command file to ALL SHEET MODELS - only ALL MODELS or DEFAULT MODEL ONLY.&amp;nbsp; It would be nice to add the capability to apply to ALL SHEET MODELS, ALL DESIGN MODELS, and ALL DRAWING MODELS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Update Cell key-in for batch process?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/688807?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:31:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5e53ce3b-1118-4c23-b03d-e9352ba45c68</guid><dc:creator>Jon Summers</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="3866" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/223854/update-cell-key-in-for-batch-process/688804"]ORD&amp;#39;s help only covers ORD tools[/quote]

&lt;p&gt;In what version of MicroStation?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the exact version no. (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation that you are using? Use key-in &lt;code&gt;VERSION&lt;/code&gt; to see the version no. in the MicroStation Message Center, or &lt;em&gt;Help&amp;rarr;About MicroStation&lt;/em&gt; in the backstage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See this &lt;a title="MicroStation blog: MicroStation CONNECT Version: How to find it" href="/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/microstation-connect-version-how-to-find-it" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;blog that shows you how to obtain MicroStation&amp;#39;s version number&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
