searching feature definitions

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to search feature definitions so that users can place geometry from a short list instead of a long one that is very drilled down.  Similar to the way we could use the level description search in V8i?

Thanks.

  • The Variables manager only edits the Personal.UCF by default, doesn't it? That's not going to help with a workset.

    Are you suggesting multiple worksets for a single project? How would that work for plans integration, with a handful of sheets in one workset, a handful of sheets in another workset, and even more in a third workset? All in one project? What happens when the drainage folks need access to the roadway drawings? or the traffic guys need them both?

    With workset "Branding", there isn't a choice to open files with the current workset - The only choices are to open the drawing's workset, or use "No Workset". How does that work with multiple worksets on a single project?

    Where is the IDEAS forum for OpenRoads? I would like to submit a request for Feature Definition Searching.

  • Hi Katie

    One way to limit your choices when searching the feature definitions would be to set up separate worksets, each with reduced dgnlib libraries better suited to a particular project or workflow.

    To make sure only the streamlined dgnlibs are being loaded for a given workset, check the CIVIL_CONTENTMANAGEMENTDGNLIBLIST system variable that defines both the directory and specific file name of the feature definitions DGN Library. You can access the variables manager by typing "configuration variables" in the search ribbon
