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…
- Planarize 3D Polygon (MDL)
This tool is for V8i only.
Planarize Polygon Tool
The planarize polygon tool allows Bentley Map users to planarize a polygon collection feature to make it coplanar so the user can have an area and perimeter to work with.
This tool is offered as…
- Text Annotation Subfeature
The text annotation subfeature tool allows you to display a text annotation on a line feature having any property information to display. This tool is offered as an example of what can be done with the Bentley Map API and comes without any guarantee or…
Re: Adding Spatial Data to Existing Records
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…

Krister,
Jon is correct, if not using C/C++ native code then use of...
compOpts + i$(GEOINCS)
....in your .mke file is correct. It seems the definition of the GEOINCS environment variable may not be pointing to the location of the Bentley Map…
Re: Missing mapelem.fdf and mapfeat.fdf in V8i Map
Ottavio,
Those MicroStation GeoGraphic functions are not available in the Bentley Map product which uses the XFM feature engine. You will need to make use of the XFM API for application development on the Bentley Map platform. I would also recommend…
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…

- Feature names, groups and aliases
In this article, we will explain some basic concepts of the XFM API. You need to have an understanding of programming with XFM before you will find it useful. All code references are in MicroStation VBA but you can easily find the equivalents in MDL.…
