    Limiting the V8 design plane to the size of the V7 design plane

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: V8, 2004. XM, V8i, CONNECT
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Coordinate Systems
      Subarea: Global Origin

    Problem

    How to limit the MicroStation V8 design plane to the size of the V7 design plane, prevent placement of elements off the edge of the V7 design plane and how to prevent elements from shifting and the global origin from changing when saving to V7 format.

    Solution

    This capability can be defined in MicroStation V8 2004 Edition and above within your User or Project configuration file using the following:

    _USTN_CAPABILITY = -CAPABILITY_LARGE_DESIGN_PLANE
