I am working with a client to create a preference (.XIN) file for the transition to InRoads and InRoads Survey. With this task, we need to setup all of their survey feature codes, some 600 or so items.
I was able to find the Import Named Symbology from .csv function (that has since disappeared - possibly due to InRoads v81/MicroStation v8i Select Series 1incompatibility issues?), but that only addresses half of the need. Is there another import function for Style Manager? Is there a faster or better way to input/import Survey Feature Codes?
David,
The Named Symbology Tools should be there even though you have incompatible software versions. They are probably just turned off through Tools> Application Add-Ins> Named Symbology Tools Add-In. While you are there, go ahead and turn on the Copy Preferences Add-In also. :) Open the XIN file that you want to copy the survey codes into through File> Open of the InRoads Group. Now go to Tools> Copy Preferences. Open the XIN file from which you want to copy the survey codes. Under Available Styles, select the styles that contain the survey codes that you want to copy into your XIN file. Click Apply and they should have copied.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
