V8i - convert Enter Data Field to text?

Still adjusting to V8i...

With V8 you could remove Enter Data Fields by editing text and removing the << >> surrounding the text. How do you manually convert an EDF to normal text in V8i? Can it be done?

I've searched and searched and can't find a way to do this.

    there is / was a vba macro that bentley select support built for someone... that just drops all  of them in a selection set / fence to plain text...

    if Bentley Select Support cant find it for you or no-one posts one email me offline and I see if I can find a copy in the archives........

    alternatively post your request in the programming vba section and ask if anyone could  make a macro that turns enter data fields to plain text... or give you advice on how to do it yourself...

  • Lorys, did you ever find the VBA in the archive?

    I've come across this issue myself in v8i and was wondering if there was a way to drop the data field to standard text.

    Thanks.
