c# how to change the variables in parametric cells?

Hi Aart,

be aware this is general Developers and Programming forum.

Please follow the best practices and specify used product and its exact version. When your question is about MicroStation, I recommend to move your question to MicroStation Programming forum.

Does anyone of you point me to the right direction?

I recommend to search for ParametricCellElement phrase. It gives some results, which can help you.

I have no personal experience with updating parameters, but I guess there are two ways in general:

• To use ParametricCellElement and to check whether it allows to access/modify the variables. Maybe it is necessary to obtain the cell definition element at first.
• When it is not possible, there is another (and more complex) way: To access variables as EC data (because it is how they are stored) and to modify them directly.

With regards,
