RE: GeoScripting outdated?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RE: GeoScripting outdated?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.

PowerMap v8i, duplicate XFM1 feature UUIDs and saving DGN to Map SS4 XFM2 features
We are currently migrating from PowerMap v8i to Map PowerView and Map Standalone SS4. Since we use PowerMap for many years we have many dgn-s to convert to new version of XFM. First problem is that when we save some of our dgn-s in new format (from 08…

Does that mean that the xml file which forms in GSA (include categories), can be opened with Bentley Map Mobile Publisher? I try it, but I get” error in XML document (2,2)”!
No. You cannot open a Bentley Geospatial Administrator schema…
RE: Categories and view subfilters.
The Bentley Map Mobile Publisher process will automatically create "View Filter" groups using the "Category" information for all feature classes defined in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator application. If you are not currently defining a project schema…

Re: Annotation do not have the color specifed in GSA
Erik,
Using the provided schema and design file, I'm not seeing the described behavior but rather the following:
Are you certain the workspace has been (re)exported and Bentley Map session restarted after any schema and/or symbology changes?
Databrowser do not show properties all though they are defined in the FeatureClass definition cache
I have got a problem that at least did not exist in BentleyMap SS2. I have veryfied that it exist in Bentley Map SS3 built 95 and sadly enough also in the new service release with built no 107.
In short:

Memory issues when re-formatting XFM features
Hi wise forum folks,
I'm building a workflow to import a large shapefile as a point-text XFM feature. Because the schema won't allow us to specify text height and width at the specified drawing scale (this varies depending on which .dgn we're working…

Re: Centroid und Feature Collection
Jens,
I refactored the sample VBA application a bit to account for polygon collections, including instances consisting of disjointed areas. I did nothing to account for holes at this time. For details, please refer to comments in the findCentroid and…
Can I anyway detect old XFM data when opening a design file with Bentley Map SS3
Really I want to either warn the user that the designfile needs to be converted or even better do the conversion more or less automatic
Any good ideas :-)

Re: VBA - accessing linkages
After looking at the provided budynki_shape2.dgn file, it is at first not apparent which elements contain your user attribute data. Using pure MicroStation scanning and elements (e.g. no XFT constructs) it seemed that .GetUserAttributeData(lIDGL) always…

Re: How can I set Origin Z to PBA Replacement Text entry ??
I see that PBA (Origin Z) is supported in Bentley Map but not available in the Geospatial Adminstrator user interface (existing CR 296636 for this issue).
As a workaround, you can manually edit your schema file to add this PBA type(backup the file first…
Re: set subfeature text to Align

I would recommend that you review the PlaceAnnotation2 method in the Library module of the xfmStdOpsLib.mvba (e.g. the XFM Standard Operations Library) delivered with Bentley Map in the ...\Bentley\Map\vba folder. The code in that method will…
