.TBL Pentable / if statement

Joe Cagle over 14 years ago

Is it possible to put an "if" statement in a pentable. For example:

Say I have a variable in the border "$N$ and this is in every sheet. Can I have a statement like

If file name = CD01.dgn then "$N$"="50"

So no one knows one way or the other?

It is not possible to put an if statement in a MicroStation pen table. In addition, the text substitutions are global to the data and it is not possible to specify the text substitution based on conditions such as filename.

FYI, InterPlot Design Scripts can test on filename and perform text substitutions based on that criteria. MicroStation pen tables cannot as stated previously. A future release of MicroStation v8i will support using Design Scripts in Print Organizer/Print dialog.

I had thought it would be gread to be able to manage this type of problem by being able to sequentially process more than one Pentable.
