Anders, First of all, a spatial overlay operation generates new feature instances, with the feature class name being that of the user defined layer name. Therefore both the geometry and business property values can be read using standard XFM functions…

Rod, You should be able to select the layer, press and hold the Ctrl key then drag the layer into your newly created group.

Ica, One possible solution is to use "Thematic Resymbolization" in the "Map Manager" for the layer, defining distinct classes for each of the unique property values. Regards, Jeff Bielefeld [Bentley]

...using "Named Criteria" in the "Bentley Geospatial Administrator" is currently the only way to have the "Map Manager" layer classes not display the underlying criteria expression. Regards, Jeff Bielefeld [Bentley]

Gaetan, Generally speaking, yes this should be doable. However much depends on the data you have in both your design file as well as in your spreadsheet. In Bentley Map you have the ability to define joins to external data sources, including what…

Jeremy, The "Remove" command in the "Map Manager" does not actually delete the instance data which was created by the "Buffer..." command. The following steps should achieve your desired result: Using the "Map Manager" application, choose the…

...you can use the " Map Management " and " Thematic Mapping " capabilities of Bentley Map V8 i to create a thematic presentation of the data then the " Print Preparation " tool to create a print model with one or more "viewports" containing the specific…

Ian, You should not have to do any additional steps to visualize your imported parcel polygons using the Map Manager functionality. Could you send me a sample design file that exhibits the problem as well as the SHP (or other) file which the data…

...after moving one of the additional "Default" model reference attachments, does performing "Save Settings" and entering "newfile" at the uStn> command prompt temporarily display your original "Default" model attachment? FWIW the "Map Manager" "is designed…

Eric, By using the "Labeling" functionality in the Map Manager application of Bentley Map you should be able to achieve this. For your "Village Boundary" feature class shown below you should be able to use a "Labeling > Text String" (Property Based…

While you have your design model open in Bentley Map, go to File > Map Manager in the menu. If you already have Map Manager open, press the "New" button in the upper left corner of it. Then you'll see a dialog box that prompts you to create a…

...in the "Map Manager" select multiple map layers (using the control key selection method) that have existing labeling, then right click "Annotation..." and choose the destination model and you should be able to create annotations from multiple layers…

...unfortunately the capability to programmatically create and define the contents of a "map model" does not exist in the public Bentley Map API at this time. Regards, Jeff Bielefeld [Bentley]

Ralph; The ability to export these results are not available in the currnet and earlier versions of Bentley Map. This functionality is being added and will be available later this year. In waiting, you could, if you are a select customer and other…

...after creating a map model, you can simply use "Attach By Reference" in the Map Manager with "Attachment Method: Interactive" to attach your active design file to itself, selecting any model from the active file for attachment. This process can be…

Doug, In the "Map Manager" select one or more layers, then right click and select the "Export..." command to produce a MicroStation compatible model or new design file with the desired thematic resymbolization applied to simple MicroStation elements…
