It appears that if you create a new project then it saves fine, but if you try to work on the same project after you load it, then it becomes read only, although the file itself is not read only. Trying to saveas at this point will crash your microstation and you will loose all your work. Has this been reported?

Some elements in my drawings are reporting "??È" as the ModelName. It looks corrupted, and trying to write that text into a text file will cause an error. Has anyone seen this?
Hello All,
I'd like to know when my cursor was moved to the MS menu/toolbar/tasks, it seems ILocateCommandEvents_Dynamics works only when the cursor was inside the view(black part), is it possible to know if the cursor is moved on other parts(me menu/toolbar/tasks/etc, anywhere as soon as it is not black)? Or maybe other way in MVBA. Thanks a lot.
Good morning everyone! :-)
I wish to obtain pipes quotes automatically, as in the attached example. (Front, top and left view, for example.)
My idea is to get a joined line (chain) for the pipe's axis and, clicking it, obtain the quotes with a macro.
Anyone of us did it in the past? Or something similar? Could you kindly help me, please?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Paolo
Dear Gentleman,
i want solution.
when i edit any text the output text is reducing with size ( height & width ).
for Example: " ASSAD " after editing it will come " ASSAD ".
hoping someone might be able to help me out. I have been writing addins in C#, but now im trying to start out with using c++/Cli for some wrappers. but I'm getting errors from the start...
here are the steps I took to create a c++/Cli class project.
1.open VS2015 and create new c++/CLI class project,
2. close and open the sln file from MicroStation SDK command prompt
3. add include location to properties.
4. add lib location to properties
5. then all I did was start to add using statements to my header file. I only added #include<Mstn\MdlApi\MdlApi.h>
once I added that I got 2 errors.
cannot open source file "_config-eccp.h"
and #error directive: Data Alignment must be defined in basedefs.h.
im a newbie what it comes to c++...

I'm creating a Line or Ellipse Element that I need to symbolize. The Ellipse symbolization also includes an AreaFill:
if ( lineElementDesired)
{
if (SUCCESS != LineHandler::CreateLineElement(eeh, NULL, segment, ACTIVEMODEL->Is3d(), *ACTIVEMODEL))
{
...
}
}
else
{
if (SUCCESS != EllipseHandler::CreateEllipseElement(eeh, NULL, dot, ACTIVEMODEL->Is3d(), *ACTIVEMODEL))
{
...
}
}
// element is cvreated - now symbolize
ElementPropertiesSetterPtr remapper = ElementPropertiesSetter::Create();
remapper->SetLevel(m_levelID);
remapper->SetColor(3);
remapper->SetWeight(0); // solid fill
remapper->SetLinestyle(0, NULL);
remapper->SetDisplayPriority(2);
remapper->Apply(eeh);
// get the AreaFillPropertiesEdit for the element
IAreaFillPropertiesEditP editProps = dynamic_cast<IAreaFillPropertiesEditP>(&eeh.GetHandler());
if (editProps)
{
// Crash here when element is a LINE_ELM - why is editProps not NULL?
}Shouldn't:
editProps = dynamic_cast<IAreaFillPropertiesEditP>(&eeh.GetHandler());
return a NULL 'editProps'? What AreaFillProperties are there on a LINE_ELM?

Hello,
how to use MicroStationDeveloperShell.bat? I already read the readme file and watched the bentley youtube tutorial but i have no clue how to get it working. Maybe i missed something.
2. The second thing i tried was using the MicroStationDeveloperShell.bat directly with the following command: MicroStationDeveloperShell.bat "E:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\MicroStation\", "E:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStationCONNECTSDK\"
The only result i get is a repeating error message: The command "E: \ Program" is either misspelled or
could not be found.
Any suggestions what i'm missing?
Thanks
Christian
I'm interested in being able to read/set the Local Transform properties for a GCS. I see two potentially useful classes: LocalTransformer and DatumConverter, but they only seem to be defined, with no exposed methods. Is there currently (or in U13?) anyway to access the LocalTransform information of a GCS?
Hello :-)
In V8 it works fine to use MdlScanCriteriaP() and to call mdlScanCriteria_setXAttributeTest(), since there seems no fitting method published in ElementScanCriteria.
In CE the code will lead directly to an exception.
BCOM.ElementScanCriteria scanCri = new BCOM.ElementScanCriteriaClass(); int nTest = scanCri.MdlScanCriteriaP(); Int64 nTest64 = scanCri.MdlScanCriteriaP();
During the debugging I got always something like: 0xfffffffff44c9d50 == -196305584 == scanCri.MdlScanCriteriaP(). A strange thing for a pointer to start with 0xf….
If I go further and try any mdlScanCriteria_...() function I got exceptions like: “Exception thrown at 0x00007FFF4FA90BE0 (DgnPlatform5.dll) in microstation.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0xFFFFFFFFF44C9D5C.”, which is no surprise with such a strange pointer.
So, there are 3 Questions:
1. Is it "just" a bug inside the SDK?
2. Do I need some C#-voodoo bevor I can pass this pointer to native?
3. Is there a way to set XAttribute Test direct in C#, so there is no need to call MdlScanCriteriaP()?
Thanks a Lot.
The .NET ECProperty appears to lack capability found in the C++ equivalent. For example, the MicroStationAPI distinguishes between a property name and its display label. The display label appears to be unsupported in .NET in the documentation for IECProperty.
Likewise, the methods to set/get the EC type name are absent in the documentation.
I want to get DGN element properties. I think that I should be using IElementPropertyEnabler to obtain element properties, using something like GetPropertyValue (className, accessString, element).
Looking at method GetProperties(..., ..., propertyCategory), the third argument is a category mask, documented as A mask indicating the categories to return. However, neither the MstnPlatformNet documentation nor the SDK examples reveal how that mask should be created. Is there an enum defined for its flags?
I am planning to convert files from International Feet to U.S. Survey feet using a simple VBA macro. I can change the Working Units and Storage Units with no problem:
CadInputQueue.SendKeyin ("set units ""US Survey Feet"" ""US Survey Inches"" ")
CadInputQueue.SendKeyin ("set storageunit US Survey Foot")
However, I cannot change the MU and SU labels in my MVBA code.
Is there any way I can accomplish this in my code?
Running MicroStation CE 10.10.00.23
Hello!
Excuse my English and probably wrong terminology.
I'm in the process of migrating our MVBA code to Connect edition, but I have a weird problem.
We have IChangeTrackEvents on and track some changes.
But if I set a linestyles element in my code, then it somehow accesses IChangeTrackEvents_ElementChanged in an endless loop.
Example:
Dim oLS As LineStyles
Set oLS = ActiveDesignFile.LineStyles
Then it goes to IChangeTrackEvents_ElementChanged.
Where it goes by action ID 3, 7 and then 3, 17 in a endless loop until crash.
I don't have that problem in Microstation V8i and the code works flawless.
I have a temporary workaround by disabling IChangeTrackEvents while using LineStyles element, but that solution is not good.
Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I'm running Connect Edition version 10.12.00.40.
I've got a tool that uses Bentley::GeoCoordinates::DgnGCS::ToModel() to set a GCS for a model. I need to tweak some settings, but one cannot edit a GCS from CONNECT. I loaded OpenCites U3, and copied the GCS (South Caroline State Plane 3902) into a new User Library and gave the GCS a name more recognizable to my users. Then I exited and returned to CONNECT U12. I can manually attach the GCS from my User Library, but when I try the same programmatically, the ToModel() function return -100001 (FFFE795F). I can successfully attach my original GCS, but not this one. I can find nothing that helps explain what the failure reason is.
Bentley::GeoCoordinates::DgnGCSPtr pSRS_GCS = Bentley::GeoCoordinates::DgnGCS::CreateGCS(L"SRS Helmert Transfrom", ACTIVEMODEL);
Bentley::DgnGCSP pModelGCS = Bentley::GeoCoordinates::DgnGCS::FromModel(ACTIVEMODEL, TRUE);
if (pSRS_GCS.IsValid() && pModelGCS == NULL)
{
UInt32 status = pSRS_GCS->AddRef();
// ToModel() returns -100001 ???
StatusInt iStatus = pSRS_GCS->ToModel(ACTIVEMODEL /*ACTIVEMODEL*/, true/*make primary*/, true/*writeToFile*/, false/*reprojectData*/, true/*reportProblems*/);
status = pSRS_GCS->Release();
}Bruce
Any one can help me to make VBA for change description in Reference
Hi all!
In v8i I used mdkSolid_getVertexLis to get the VertexIds.
I tried the same procedure in MSCE on parametric solids: I get the correct number of vertices, but the ids are void.
Is there a better way to extract the VertexIds from a MSCE parametric solids?
Thanks!
I want to get DGN element properties. Using the DgnBaseElement schema I can use class MstnClosedBoundary to obtain the area and perimeter from any DGN element type. That is, MstnClosedBoundary acts as a super-class mixin for any DGN element that is closed and planar.
I don't see the equivalent super-class mixin for linear elements. If I want to obtain the length of a line or arc etc. I have to implement a switch statement...
switch (eh.GetElementType ())
{
case LINE_ELM:
case LINE_STRING_ELM:
ecClass = L"MstnLineSegments";
ecProp = L"TotalLength";
break;
case CMPLX_STRING_ELM:
ecClass = L"MstnComplex";
ecProp = L"TotalLength";
break;
case BSPLINE_CURVE_ELM:
ecClass = L"MstnBSplineCurve";
ecProp = L"Length";
break;
case ARC_ELM:
ecClass = L"MstnArc";
ecProp = L"Length";
break;
}
Both the class name and the property name vary, depending on the element type. Is there a super-class mixin for linear elements? Is there a super-class mixin for solid elements? What have I missed?
