XML report formatting

Can the font for the horizontal alignment review ascii xml report  be set to Arial or Verdana and the columns stay lined up. Right now we copy and paste the report onto microstation (2004) sheets and it loses its formatting. Any suggestions for a neat alignment report in Microstation 2004.

Can the decimal places for station, N,E and Z be set in a XSL file or must they be set using Tools->Format options?

Thanks.

  • The paste from the Report Browser into MicroStation uses the active text settings within MicroStation.  So all you need to do is set the font in MicrfoStation to a fixed-width font and everything will lineup.  (I don't thing that setting or attempting to set the font in the style sheet will have any affect.  If I am wrong about that then please correct me!) 

    To change the decimal precision in the style sheet, you need to search for the following strings and replace them with the precison that you desire:

    $xslStationPrecision
    $xslDistancePrecision
    $xslNorthingPrecision
    $xslEastingPrecision"
    $xslElevationPrecision
    $xslGradePrecision
    $xslAlternateSlopePrecision
    $xslDirectionPrecision
    $xslAngularPrecision
    $xslAcrePrecision
    $xslAreaPrecision
    $$xslCubicPrecision

    So a line like this:
    (inr:northingFormat(number(Start/@northing), $xslNorthingPrecision) would be changed to
    (inr:northingFormat(number(Start/@northing), 2)

    Obviously any changes to delivered style sheets should be made to a copy that will not get overwritten with a uninstall / reinstall.
