Hello,
I have to analyze several .CEL files (a lot in fact !), created by different people from different places. All are in V8 Edition 2004 format. The target is to create a unique cell libraries by selecting the best existing cells. So, I need to know which cells are in each cell libraries. Does a method, or a tool, exist for printing cell libraries, showing the cell and its name ? (PDF, paper, JPG, ...)
I know the CELL SELECTOR tool, but it doesn"t help me as it doesn't print.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Sébastien
Thanks to both of you.
The Cell Utilities for MicroStation V8 works. Even if you would have like to use the Axiom tool... But I have restrictive software rules at the office...
Thanks again.
I can´t believe nobody mentioned the HTML author. It is delivered with every version of Microstation since at least SE. It can be found in the Utilities pull down menu and allows to generate a HTML page with a list of either Cells in a library, Saved Views in files or available macro´s. You cannot copy or move cells, but it is a great visualisation of the library content for both users and CADmanagers. Also the webpages can be linked to V8, making it a sort of Cell Selector on XTC.
It is allready there.
Good luck

Another 'can't believe' :)
There is a function implemented in MicroStation called 'place Cell Index'. With this function you can create a index drawing of the current cell library inside the default model of such a cell library - the result is a overview inside the library itself that can be updated with changeable parameters according size and distance of the cells to be drawn.

One method I recommend is to create a print set consisting of the models in a cell library. Remember that in V8 cells are simply Models in a V8DGN file and Print Organizer in MicroStation V8i gives you an easy way to gather all of them up and print them to a standard sheet. You can also use the advanced settings to control layout, symbology and page setup.
