- Difference between Remove in the Map Manager and Delete
When creating a buffer on any feature class, it results a new feature class being created in Map Manager.
Using the Remove option will remove the feature class from the Map Manager, and turn off the display of the associated features. The features…
- Area to Area Overlay Analysis
Topology, or overlay analysis shows the spatial relationships between two features – do they touch each other? Is one feature contained by another? What do they have in common? Bentley Map provides tools to investigate these relationships, and can perform…
RE: Attempting to Create a DGN file from MapModel
Drew,
My colleague Dan Weston correctly noted that you are using Bentley Map PowerView which does not include the Map Manager "Export..." command. You would need to have either Bentley Map or Bentley Map Enterprise to use the "Export..." functionality…
RE: Attempting to Create a DGN file from MapModel
Drew,
Using the "Map Manager" you can select one or more map layers, then right-click and select the "Export..." command to create a CAD/DGN file. From the Bentley Map help file the following:
- Seed Files for Map Definitions and Map Models
Introduction
This brief article will provide ideas and suggestions on setting up a seed file for creating Map definitions. This seed file will contain typical settings for map management with respect to feature symbology and labels.
Create a seed…
Map Manager's interpretation of point .shp-files
We have a rather simple workflow where features with certain property values in a point .shp-file needs to be translated into certain Microstation cells.
This is a task that Map Manager is a convenient tool for. However, at least with our configuration…
- Define feature scale ranges
OpenCities Map supports viewing features based on a view scale. This is achieved by setting the feature symbology in the Map Manager or as part of the features definition in the Geospatial Administrator.
Using the Map Manager has a number of benefits…
RE: How to set the scale based visibility for a layer in Map Manager?
Kiran,
In the Map Manager you can perform the following:
Right-click your feature class and select the "Symbology..." option.
In "Symbology" dialog choose "General > Thematic Definition set > User defined 1" option.
In "Symbology" dialog choose…

Re: Publishing a thematically symbolized map for use in non map microstation environment
Doug,
In the "Map Manager" select one or more layers, then right click and select the "Export..." command to produce a MicroStation compatible model or new design file with the desired thematic resymbolization applied to simple MicroStation elements…
Re: How to create Thematic Map from models
...after creating a map model, you can simply use "Attach By Reference" in the Map Manager with "Attachment Method: Interactive" to attach your active design file to itself, selecting any model from the active file for attachment. This process can be…
Re: Map Annotation to microstation text

Re: Labeling with Data on an element
Eric,
By using the "Labeling" functionality in the Map Manager application of Bentley Map you should be able to achieve this. For your "Village Boundary" feature class shown below you should be able to use a "Labeling > Text String" (Property Based…
Re: How to delete newly created feature classes?
Jeremy,
The "Remove" command in the "Map Manager" does not actually delete the instance data which was created by the "Buffer..." command. The following steps should achieve your desired result:

Re: Bentley Map Series2 using Excel spreasheet
Gaetan,
Generally speaking, yes this should be doable. However much depends on the data you have in both your design file as well as in your spreadsheet.
In Bentley Map you have the ability to define joins to external data sources, including what…
Re: Criteria name
Ica,
One possible solution is to use "Thematic Resymbolization" in the "Map Manager" for the layer, defining distinct classes for each of the unique property values.

Re: How do you add Features to a Layer Group?
Rod,
You should be able to select the layer, press and hold the Ctrl key then drag the layer into your newly created group.
key-in for buffer and overlay
Hello all!
Maybe anybody knows is there any key-ins to create buffer and overlay zones in Bentley Map ?
Thanks for advance,
Elena
Re: Criteria name
...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.
