Macro for load references in project wise

Hi, almost 20 years ago with MS J there were a macro that once activated pushing a button (F1)  it open a window, you could select references according to a logic.

similar to the picture 

any of you have some idea how to create?

  • Hi ,

    It would be best to know what the original Macro Name was.

    In addition it would be helpful to know if by "select references by logical" if the macro: "sorted them" or "selected and highlighted" and optionally provide some "next action(s)" for the "selected references".

    Can you please expand a bit more on what you or the macro were trying to accomplish?

    I presume the image above is simply showing "MicroStation Reference - Nest Levels", but only within a ProjectWise context.  Each product has different tools to manage and by providing some more details better recommendations can be provided.

    HTH,
    Bob.



  • Hello Bob thanks for your reply.

    to be honest I do not remember the name, I try to add some more details, imagine to look at the picture:

    select star (star is a folder)

    select b ( b is a folder)

    select 2 (2 is the reference )

    push load and the reference 2 is attached into MS. 

    You could select more than one folder and more than one reference 

    i work In the ship Ship imagine to cut vertically and horizontally in order to create areas. Each areas has the same systems: pipes, ducts, cables, fittings.

    I would like to add simultaneously all the pipes of 3 areas for example 

  • So...Tell me if I am following you. I'm a road guy, so I'm going to try that terminology to see if I can wrap my head around it.

    A big long project (star) has been cut into segments (A, B, C, etc.) so that each segment works in a specific area of the project. Each segment has HVAC, plumbing, wiring and so on (drawings 1, 2, 3, etc.).

    It sounds as if you want a macro where you can select your project, choose one or more segments, and load all of the HVAC drawings, or the plumbing drawings or the wiring drawings - without having to navigate up and down the project folder structure to find them all manually.

    Is that sort of what you are aiming for?

    I don't know of any macro like this offhand, and I sure wouldn't know how to interface with ProjectWise. You'd definitely need a consistent file naming structure. But it doesn't sound impossible.

    20 years ago with MS/J there was a macro for load references in ProjectWise

    It's hard to see where ProjectWise comes into this.  Are you using ProjectWise now? Which version of MicroStation do you use?

    20 years ago a macro for MicroStation/J would have been written using MicroStation BASIC.  Things have progressed considerably in two decades.  Possibly MicroStation VBA can help.

    There is a separate ProjectWise Programming Forum.
