RE: [BM SS4] Registered SQL*Server Feature has no Text Sub-Feature
Bruce,
You will need to have a related table which contains locations of annotation sub-features. For example you might have...
CREATE TABLE BUILDINGS2
(
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CONSTRUCTED] [date] NULL,
[VALUE] [int] NULL,

- Importing coordinates from a text file
There are two solutions for importing coordinates from a text file as points into the open design file.
Method 1 - Use MicroStation's Import Coordinates tool from the Terrain Model ribbon group. You can find this group in the Drawing workflow…
Interoperability
Geospatial solutions are rarely used individually. Data comes in and goes out for users in various formats, this is termed "interoperability" and allows different systems to utilize the data regardless of its origins. This section of articles discusses…
- Connect to ESRI File Geodatabase
You can connect to an Esri File Geodatabase (FileGDB) from the Map Interoperability dialog. The Esri File Geodatabase support is available in all OpenCities Map CONNECT and Bentley Map V8i (SELECTSeries 4) and above editions of the product.
Inside the…
- Create XFM DGN file using Import from database
Using OpenCities Map to import spatial data from Oracle (read-only), SQL Server (read-only), WFS (read-only), and Esri File Geodatabase (read-only) creates a self-contained DGN file with XFM features.
This allows you to work in a disconnected environment…
RE: How to Export Dgn file to Shape file with Attributes?
Which Export option did you select? If you use Add Shapefile, then you must choose the "Building" feature to export. The CHLSTGO_BUILDINGS_2D features do not contain any attributes, except for the system-generated geometric properties for area and perimeter…
- Convert DGNs with MSLinks to MS SQL Server Spatial via FME
Note: This process was originally written for Bentley Map V8i. It works equally well with the OpenCities Map CONNECT Edition.
DGN with MSLinks to MS SQL Server Spatial
This document provides a general description of how to convert DGN data with…
RE: Store attributes in a database
Morten,
To insert database rows during "Import" operations in the Bentley Map Interoperability application use the "Feature Parameters > Mapped Name" and "Property Parameters > Mapped Name" sections to assign feature class and business property mappings…
RE: Getting cells imported from ArcGIS to use the cellangle field
Bob,
Thank you for that clarification. Unfortunately the ability to use a database property (e.g. [Rotation802]) to define the "Cell Angle" for point features in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator does not exist at this time.
In the "File > Interoperability…
RE: Getting cells imported from ArcGIS to use the cellangle field
Bob,
Are you using the "ProjectWise Connector for ArcGIS" to extract the ArcGIS/SDE data and create design files or are you using the "File > Interoperability > Import" functionality within a Bentley Map session?
RE: setting directory for Shape import
Hello Uwe,
This variable is definitely not working as expected. For now, the default path for Import File seems to be defined by MS_GEOPROJHOME. It should not. This has been reported to internal instance of Bentley Map.
Thank you for bringing it to…
RE: V8i Select Series 3 C# - How to get the count of queried features through programming
Would recommend use of the GDIImportProcessor class which has an InstancesProcessed property that would provide the count you are looking for.
- Export arcs and stroking tolerance
Most geospatial data types support points, lines and polygons only. When OpenCities Map exports or post features it converts the various MicroStation geometries into one of those types. When there are curves or arcs in the linear or polygon element or…
- Assign attributes when importing Shapefiles
On occasion, the shapefile you're importing has attributes with different names than those defined in your project schema. For example, the Roads.shp file may contain the following attributes:
And your task is to import them as Street features that…

The following solution addresses the user question submitted in this forum thread.

Possible to define single XFM feature for point-cell and point-text features?
I have a shapefile that contains some features I'd like to map to point-cell XFM features, and other features that I'd like to map to point-text FM features (so I can use PBA). I would really rather not create two separate XFM features, which would necessitate…
Re: unlocking after post
Rob,
I've not heard of that particular scenario, and you're correct, after the post operation the feature instances should be locked once again, preventing modification in the local design file cache. What version of Bentley Map are you using?
Re: OGC GML Support in Bentley Map
For the SelectSeries 1 of Bentley Map, our interoperability tools will provide support for GML 2.1 and 3.1. It will support the Simple Feature Profile including arc and curves.
Hope this helps.
Interoperability Key-In
Hi All,
I am working with Bentely Water (Bentley Map with a bit extra) and I need to create a menu option (or button) to both launch the Interoperability dialog for import SHP and TAB files, but I also need to have a button that will open an Oracle…
Re: gdi import fails
Krister,
In the Bentley Geospatial Administrator, when registering your Oracle Spatial layers, if you do not assign a sequence generator to the layer you have effectively defined a "read only" layer (e.g. users can query geometries but cannot post…
Bentley Map export to ESRI shape file
Hi all
I am using Bentley Map 08.09.04.78 and am trying to export to ESRI shape file.
Is there a "stroke tolerance" when exporting arcs? The tolerance (distance between original arc and stroked line string) appears to vary. Maybe it is a fixed angle…
