VBA check if a feature is queried from database
Hello all,
I have a features queried from database and another I just placed. Can I check if feature is queried from database in VBA?
Interoperability OpenCitiesMap/OpenRail
Hello everyone
I exported an .shp file and a .tab file from OpenCitiesMap.
At this point, I create a new .dgn file in OpenRail Designer and in the "Attach Reference" panel, I add one of the two files exported from OpenCitiesMap.
The newly referenced…
Can I somehow suspend the Geometry properties after loading the gsa metadata and designfile
Hi
I know that I can in the configuration files choose to not have the Automatic Geometry properties, but can I somehow turn them off when the designfile is loaded

How to force a specific format in a placement or editing form
I would like to force the format of a value in the placement and editing dialog in Map. The restriction would be nnn-nn 3 digits a dash then 2 digits. Is this possible? The property type is character because the dash is part of the stored value.
Thanks…

RE: Selecting elements by elevation
Greetings Turkay,
This type of data manipulation is best done programmatically. If you could provide a sample design file and details on what elevations should be moved to which levels, I would gladly craft a sample VBA application which could be used…

RE: convert lot of txt elements to xfm
I reviewed the provided text2xfm v1.5 application and it appears the ability to process multiple text elements still exists. If a " Fence " is active when the " Process " button is pressed then all of the text or text node elements in the fence contents…
RE: convert lot of txt elements to xfm
The original text2xfm VBA sample application could convert multiple text elements to XFM text features using a fence, selection set or the entire design file. If you could upload a copy of the text2xfm.mvba version you are using we can verify whether…
RE: Draw multi part polygon in Bentley Map.
Kiran,
If the Oracle Spatial multipolygon layer was registered as a "Polygon Collection" feature class then you should be able to perform the following:
In the Bentley Geospatial Administrator right click on the polygon collection feature class…
RE: [BM SS4] User Data Linkages and Group Hole Elements
Bruce, thank you for that confirmation. If you could send me one more sample design file that contains shapes, complex shapes and grouped holes connecting to at least 3 different MSLINK values then I will complete verification testing of my revised code…
RE: [BM SS4] User Data Linkages and Group Hole Elements
Bruce,
When I developed the example promote1.mvba I tested using both shape, complex shape and grouped hole elements. The fact that you indicated a property enumerator was not being returned for a DFS inferred feature instance leads me to suspect your…
RE: [BM SS4] User Data Linkages and Group Hole Elements
Bruce,
I've confirmed the reported behavior of the "Promote" process not retaining database linkages when processing grouped hole elements. Upon further investigation have determined that this is a known issue with an existing Bentley Map defect on…
RE: Extrude 2D building polygons to 3D
Tim,
Unfortunately it would be more than a simple recompile. The extrude1 application requires the use of Bentley Map which is not available for the MicroStation CONNECT Edition platform.
RE: Problem with polygons in Bentley Map/PowerMap
Use the Save as... command to update the XFM data model. Review the Options to ensure that the setting is 07.xx to 09.xx.
RE: XFM Features in Microstation
You can remove the XFM attributes from the elements by using the Export to MicroStation Elements command in the Map Manager. To do this, initialize Bentley Map, open the Map Manager, then right-click on the Layer that you need to change. Select the Export…

RE: GeoScripting outdated?
Uwe,
As you may know, the Bentley Map scripting engine capabilities were originally developed for MicroStation GeoGraphics some ~17 years ago, before VBA was available in the MicroStation platform. Users that have invested time and effort to learn the…
RE: GeoScripting outdated?
Uwe,
You are correct in that Bentley Map no longer uses a FEATURE table. The Bentley Geospatial Administrator is used to define feature classes and associated business properties, along with other aspects of an XFM project.

Re: Bentley Map files backward compatible?
Jeremy,
While filing the trouble report, I performed some additional analysis and found that the feature names for the polygon instances appeared to be incorrect in that they did not match the actual expected feature name. As seen in the following…
Re: VBA - SubFeature Collection - XYZ (3D)
I suspect the error is being caused by the fact that in an XFM feature collection, the root feature does not contain any geometry. The root feature acts as a "container" which only holds references to all of the "member" sub-feature instances. Depending…

The bmake_opt variable is used to define options for bmake.exe such as -I option which defines the Include (.mki) file path, not the header file includes. What you need to do is update your applications .mke file by extending the paths in…
Re: XFM feature symbology to element templates
Tom,
Correct, the MS_GEOXFM_NO_DYNAMICSCOREDFEATURES=1 configuration setting is either on or off (not set) and can only be changed after stopping/starting a session. If you are using "promote" you are creating native XFM feature instances so disabling…
