Hi All- Does anybody have any workflows that might possibly enable the use of an Item Type (from a Pick List) to place a Cell into the Design file?
Would like to place a Text Favorite and Cell together, and I was thinking the use of Item Types might be a good way to do this? I also know that Item Types are to be assigned to Design file features, so unsure if I am approaching this correctly or not. Any ideas would be super amazing! Thank you =)
Hey, Matt!
In what manner are you wishing to approach this need; that is, as a Civil Label, annotation group assigned to a feature definition, etc?
Let me know, and I will try to provide my ideas sometime tomorrow, but there are many out here who might beat me to it! It has been a crazy busy time!
Best Regards,
Mark
Hey, Mark! Thank you for your reply. Please see this screen shot and text markups to clarify what I am trying to do with these Item Types. Please Let me know if this question is still not clear. Thank you SO much, Mark!
Matt:
Were you able to research your issue further today? I got caught behind and was unable to even think about it. Let me know. I might have a bit more time tomorrow.
Hey Mark, no, not as of yet. Still tossing some ideas around. I appreciate you checking in sir.
It would likely need to go the Annotation Group with Text Fav route... There were some improvements on 2022 R1 mentioned in this session but unfortunately no Element Template support. https://eventhub.bentley.com/wcc/eh/2541253/lp/3888511/civil-user-conference-2022-item-types-enhancements-in-openroads-designer-2022-release-1

Thank you Shawn. I did end up finding a post within the Microstation forum that somewhat answered my question. I also used some information you provided, so thank you.
