    "Bentley View": display references on/off by spot or point

    Oto
    Offline Oto over 13 years ago

    Bentley view doesn't allow to attach references so they need to be already attached to file, that's OK. But is there any way how to change reference display by point(spot)? For this purpose we have macro which allows to click in a spot and if there is reference then display it but of course it is not possible in "Bentley View". As the reference number is large ~100 they are not displayed all the time only when needed.

    Tried:

    1. There is a key-in "reference display off" that allows to close reference by point  but the other command "reference display on" doesn't work that way because when reference is closed I get "no elements found". Then why is there an option to choose elements for "reference display on" if closed reference is not in the view Tongue Tied   It is misleading.

    2. Other option would be to use "Project explorer" and attach reference links to some elements(text, bounding shapes and so on) and when the links are followed then reference would be shown. Again it doesn't work because reference is opened as a file and not as a "reference".

    Other ideas?
