    Enter Data Fields (EDF) in shared cells ...

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MICROSTATION
      Version(s): 08.05.02.35
      Environment:  N\A
      Area:  Text
      Subarea:  Fields
      Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group
       

    Problem

    Enter Data Fields (EDF) in shared cells cannot be edited/filled.

    Version: 08.05.02.35
    Product: MicroStation V8 2004 Edition
    Area: Text

    Solution

    Applies to MicroStation V8, MicroStation J.

    Shared Cell Instances are dependent on their Definition in the design file header.

    Therefore you can change the Enter Data Field in an individual instance value without changing its definition. Once the Shar
    ed Cell is dropped to Geometry or to a Normal Cell, the EDF can be edited.
