Update Cell key-in for batch process?

I have not been able to find a key-in for the Update Cell tool.  Does such a thing exist?  I would like to use Batch Process to update sheet border cells in multiple sheet models in several dgns.

  • to set the sheet model  the keyin is  from help

    MODEL ACTIVE <model_name>

    pays to use 

    fit view extended

    file design ( at the end)

    so in your case the modified script reads

    -------------------------------------------

    MODEL ACTIVE SHEET

    FIT VIEW EXTENDED

    choose all
    replace cells extended
    selview 1
    choose none

    FILE  DESIGN

    -----------------------------------

    This then saves th changes so the sheet model is saved as the default on next opening too...

    Remember it pays to name the sheet model always the same name  and case sensitive mine here is in this example SHEET be careful avoid spaces in model names or you need to enclose with quote marks "Sheet   A3"
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Tip  I use the first two lines and  file design in a batch script at end of projects to force  the sheet model to be the default  when opening a dgn in my  projects
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    BTW don't you have to specify which cell otherwise all cells are updated?

  • I had to make one minor edit but it worked for me. I just wish I knew how to tell it sheet models only.

    choose all
    replace cells extended
    selview 1
    choose none

  • Here is the reply I got from Bentley when I pointed out the discrepancy using the version key-in in ORD:

    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.
    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.

    Note: The full version can be checked from File > Help > About. 

  • I posted an idea on the Microstation Ideas Portal suggesting being able to set model types in batch processor, still tagged as "needs review" though.

    Add additional "Initial Model" options to | MicroStation Ideas Portal (aha.io)

    hmmm, trying Jon's 'Version' 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't confusing at all.
