...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]

Krister, During the register feature process you may not be aware that you can select one or more feature class names or business property names and then right-click and choose to change the case as shown in the following: Does this capability…

Veeresh, First regarding the use of composite primary keys for annotation, you're correct that capability used to work. However when the ability to support arbitrary-depth features in Bentley Map was added for Oracle Spatial persistence, subfeatures…

Rob, You should be able to use the described RESET FEATURE technique with linear features (e.g. lines, linestrings, curvestrings etc...) as well, just as long as the line/linestring elements are created on the level which match that defined in…

The Bentley Geospatial Administrator (geospatialadmin.exe) should be used for all interactive geospatial schema editing. The following command line should automatically open the specified schema: geospatialadmin.exe -l=full_file_specification.xml…

Erik, In the Bentley Geospatial Administrator the purpose of the "Display Name" setting for both feature classes and their business properties is to provide support for XML compatible class and property names. As you know XFM feature class and property…

Tom, I've updated the archive to include a folder containing all the images which should be placed in an "image" folder immediately beneath the folder containing the generated HTML page. By default the HTML page is generated in your system temp folder…

...unfortunately, at this time I don't believe there is a way to restrict the discovery process, but I will do some additional checking to verify that. While we're discussing this topic, how would you as an "Administrator" or "User" prefer to control…

...to limit the scope of feature classes discovered during the "Register Features" process, use a user account that does not have DBA privileges. For example, using the following privilege assignments... GRANT DELETE ON MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE TO MYUSER;…

Tom, I added a "Project Information" section and posted the stylesheet here . Please let me know if this works for you.

Gabriel, I've duplicated the behavior you described and have to determine any workaround. Is there a specific reason you are not using a Combo Box feature property for "Attribute" rather than having it reference an operation property?

Burkhard, For your MyArea property, the initial value, editing key, the cexpression should be [XY.Area] rather than [XY.MyArea]. Attached is an example schema with a single feature class "Zone" which has a single "MyArea" property that automatically…

In addition this... ...from earlier in the thread is due to the menu definition... ...which issues "nocmd" thus causing the "Unknown key-in or command" message. Please keep in mind that all user interface items defined in the Bentley Geospatial…

Nick, Attached is a working sample schema that may help as well. You can study the X, Y and Z properties of the MyMonument feature class and see that "placing" and "editing" initial values keys have been defined using... ...which result in the…

Artur, Can you verify that you have the "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1" installed by checking your "Add/Remove Programs" entries? Regards, Jeff Bielefeld [Bentley]

Gabriel, Attached is a mock up of your schema which implements the following behavior: For the "what_to_do" ComboBox property, you will need to set the " Store Last Value ", " Save Changes Key " and " Command Type " settings as shown in the following…

...okay thanks for the confirmation. Has the Bentley Geospatial Administrator ever been run successfully on this particular machine, before any updates etc...? In a command shell (e.g. MS-DOS window) perform the following... dir "%USERPROFILE%\Application…

As Jerry correctly comments, there is currently no out-of-the-box way to accomplish using standard Bentley Map functionality. This workflow can however be accomplished with some customization that makes use of the Bentley Map API. The basic approach is…

Greetings, After reviewing your SQL script, it appears that you may have omitted the primary key definition for the annotation table which would have prevented the table being "discovered" during the "Register Features" process in the Bentley Geospatial…

Gabriel, Please try adding brackets around the feature class name and operations property as follows: COMPARE("[road_Collection]/[what_to_do]", "upgrade", "")

...the unsupported keyin ggcaches reload all override is provided for development purposes only and should never be used during production workflows. As you note, during schema development using the Bentley Geospatial Administrator it is often quite useful…

Tom, I crafted an XSLT which can be run using the "File > Report > Run..." command in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator to produce this feature report, which includes symbology information. Does it have what you need? If so I can provide the XSLT…
