...select the Bentley.Geospatial.Extensions.Oracle.tlb type library when setting your reference.

Charlie, The ability to save buffers as well as other spatial analysis results as XFM features (including both element geometries and properties) does not currently exist. This capability is being added to Bentley Map V8 i for release in Q2 2009…

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…

Gerald, First thank you clarifying what was actually occurring. I wanted to ensure that you were aware of the purpose of "Propagation Rules" so that you could apply them as desired in your workflows. Next, the copied feature instance should be seen…

Janice, The answer may not necessarily be "no" as there are often different ways to achieve the desired result using Bentley Map and XFM data modeling. If you could send me a private message with sample SHP file, XFM schema and design file representing…

Janice, Yes, please use these instructions for posting files to our FTP site and then send me a note with archive filename etc...

Greetings Again Janice, I would be more than happy to investigate this issue. As before, would you please post to our FTP site an archive containing the SHP file, seed design file, schema, cell library etc... so that I can replicate the unexpected…

Stefan, You will most likely have to use regasm.exe to manually register the generated type library, something that is done automatically when Visual Studio compiles the assembly if the projects "Build > Output > Register for COM interop" option is…

...thank you Erik for the confirmation and we are continuing to investigate this further. A special test center in Denmark, now that has some interesting possibilities. :)

...you could try to set the _USTN_USERNAME environment variable to the name of the user workspace (e.g. SET _USTN_USERNAME=geo_example_designer) in the shell before starting your session.

...okay very good Stefan, thank you for that confirmation.

Jiri, For the following compound geometry... SHAPE(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM_INFO, SDO_ORDINATES) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------…

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…

Greetings Veeresh, Have you any custom code involved or are you only using standard Interoperability functionality? Could you provide the exception.log that was generated?

Krister, I've posted a complete example here which includes a sample COM server written in C# which demonstrates one approach to calling the Bentley Map Interoperability managed API methods from VBA. The following sample VBA form should give you some…

In an effort to broaden the communities knowledge of the Property Based Annotation capabilities available in Bentley Map, I've posted a new " Using Property Based Annotation (PBA) Replacement Text During Interoperability Imports " wiki article which provides…
