• Array with variables and expression builder

    Hello all, I would like to know if anyone has developed a way to produce a polar array (rectangular or linear would be of interest also) with variables and expression builder for either 2d or 3d. Ultimately I would like to create a plate that has holes…
  • Changing from Dynamic view to Cached legacy view in Reference dialog box takes longer time for heavy 3D models attached to 2D drawings in Microstation v8i SS4. Is there any quick way to change to cached legacy from dynamic view

    whenever I attach a heavy 3d models to a 2d drawings and when I change the visible edge from dynamic view to cached view in reference dialog box, it takes long time to change to cached view. Is there any quick way or setting to change the visible edge…
  • RE: Loosing color table while exporting 3D to 2D

    Hello, Thank you for your answer. I attached the original *.dxf file. The used color table is acad table. The problem occurs also if I convert it to a *.dgn file, and then from dgn into 2D dgn. For the 2D export I use File> Export->Common File Types…
  • Loosing color table while exporting 3D to 2D

    In Microstation Connect Update 5, when converting a 3D dgn (or dwg, dxf )file to a 2D dgn file, the color table is lost and the default table is used. Attaching the origninal color table is of no use, since the colors have changed to the nearest color…
