Forum Post: Cell selector button background
I'm using MicroStation PowerDraft V8i (SELECTseries 3) - Version 08.11.09.037. If I set a cell selector button to color, its background does not always stay silver. I checked my co-workers' computers and it seems not everyone has the issue. So, how can I set the button background color. I'd like them to stay silver. Thanks,

Forum Post: RE: Reattaching multiple x refs
LOTS of Questions and many of the questions depend on what you are doing and what procedure you want to follow. There can be several answers to each question. That's why you have all of those options. If the references display Red in the dialog, that means the references are attached, it's just, MicroStation doesn't know where to find them. If you place all the files in a single folder and that folder is the same one your file is in, MicroStation can find them. This is not a good way to work but it works . But what happens if you want to organize or you have several files with the same name with different graphics. That's why there is a Configuration Variable "MS_RFDIR" You can place this variable in the Project configuration file (.PCF) and point it to several locations. M-Sta. will look thru those locations in the order you set, until it finds the file with that name, and that's the one it will display. You can also set Variables, Point the variables to a specific location, then attach the References using those variables.

Forum Post: RE: Reattaching multiple x refs
Do you have a folder structure for the files and is there a Project (.pcf) you should be using when you open M-Sta. for this job? If you have a pcf file you can edit it and tell MicroStation where to look for references and an order for M-Sta. to look in them. Which folder to look in 1st then 2nd then 3rd, etc.

Forum Post: RE: Cell selector button background
Are you sure this is PowerDraft that you are using? I don't see this version available for download for PowerDraft. Use the Ctrl+D key to bring up the cell selector defaults What color do you have selected? Something to try is resizing the dialog by grabbing a corner and dragging your cursor to change the size. See if this impacts the background color of the cell selector buttons.

If I select any colors but BLACK, the background might change to black. It might stay silver next when I call it. see the captures below...

[quote user="Andre Gutauskas"]I need to reattach multiple xrefs. Should the xrefs be contained in the same folder as the dwgs?[/quote] You mention XRefs and DWG files, but you don't mention any Bentley product. Tell us what version of MicroStation you are using.

Forum Post: RE: Drawing Input Survey
[quote user="Brien Bastings"] David, were you using Connect...and Lorys, were you using V8i? When Marc made this post I immediately tried using AccuDraw+popcalc on Connect only to discover that it wasn't working properly for expressions using sin, cos, etc. It will be fixed in the upcoming Connect Update 1. I am happy to see that someone knew to try this approach. -B btw: Normally you would type "80" with focus on the distance field, followed by "/" to bring up the PopCalc dialog, then just type "sin(50)" and enter. HTH [/quote] Neither the survey title or post mentioned CE it just said Marc wanted to know how people work so they could plan how to implement features in future software so the implication was let me see how you work or your work flow so we can maybe make it better or easier or permit it.. and yes I used V8i.. OMHO as a user I would not waste anymore time playing with CE until the next commercial release .. I think it should have stayed Beta alot longer... but i suppose this way more people can test it for Bentley... but I wouldnt distribute it at work place... just test at home...

Forum Post: RE: Reattaching multiple x refs
There are also commercial software packages that do this and if your talking about lots and lots of time fixing things then its worth investigating Axiom tools sells a ref manager tool that repaths renamed or missing or broken references .. I have used it and its very good.. you dont need to buy several licences just one can be used by the cad manager/ senior drafter etc to fix everything when needed.. Bentley has Projectwise.. scan refs and links very powerfull and needs a lot of configuration and specilaist know how to set up and keep it running in top condition and a fair amount of training for drafters... but it manages all drafting / drawing and standards and transmital and doc control very very powerful .. There also are vba macros floating around here in the forum too to repath or rename with a gui ... but use at own risk and dont do it for big groups until it works for you as you expect.... The MS_RFDIR is a great solution but it means short term fix for your problem at hand that all xrefs would live in the same xref dedicated folder... and they would need to be unique...as this was to avoid manually repathing so a quick fix is the mantra here... then you need to make sure every instal of microstation user has the change added to their workspace config... not hard if you have good cad administrator or good IT help much easier to change if you have site specific workspace config... you could create project workspaces by name ( I like that approach as you look for project names easier) and move all the drgs to >project > drgs ( not sure then if you can make several ms_rfdir 's I thought it was just a single variable ) My prefered way is to have cad standard naming adopted from our ACAD friends here in Oz and always put "X " at the beginning of an eXternal ref file... so the drgs and xrefs can live in the same project folder... Your still going to investigate each file to find the right refs so not to move the wrong ones... there is a cool macro floating around here to list the refs to a file but doesnt work with nesting if you cant find it email me... I think you have a good business case to buy axiom ref tool... work with nesting.. if you cant find it email me ... Good luck sounds like a real good challenge

Forum Post: RE: ref file - how to lock position of clipped ref file within sheet?
if your only modifying the xref model and not replacing it then dim info including notes should remain associated but I feel your pain there just isnt a way for things to auto regenerate in a new coordiante location.. however if your sheets are by coords of the xref and scaled up to the world then delete clip bound will show you where you have to move to.. I aslo like to put a clip non print polygon in the the ref model so its easier to work out sheet locations and match line and these are hand for clipping... Getting off topic for reminiscing ok...stop reading now if your not interested ok ? I'm reminded of my first week in the drawing office many years ago having done my first big general arrangement AO drawing of a railway under frame and bogie on the drawing board / machine, yes I am old... took me 2 or 3 weeks .. 40 hours a week ... and inked in on film at least...you got to love the Yellow eraser from staedler .. I still have one and pens all sealed up for the archaeologists to find when were all gone.... Then the junior engineers recalculated so design rules and changed the design significantly .. I almost broke into tears .. but my Drafting manager told me "... son if you can't handle changes your in the wrong profession..." yes older people in charge always called juniors Son and we always called them Sir or Mr never first names... if they didnt call you son then it was Mr. so and so ... (hey all my bosses were my dads age ... come to think of it I'm what my dads age was then hmmm...) and that was before cad so even though it still bugs me a little ... its so much easier with cad ( BTW that term copy paste for you youngsters out there originated with paper as we did use copy ( trace) , cut with scissors , paste with glue, and the photo copier was a dream come true to tracers)..... ok back on topic... There is just no way to get around it in CAD the text and dims are not auto generated by the elements you made those by hand so as far as the new model is concerned they dont exist . In GIS we can create labels from element attributed tables linked to elements move the element , modify the element and the label association is still linked to the table so the visual representation of the label is re displayed in its new location.. edit the table and the labels re display their re- representation... because in GIS its all about the meta data its what drives and draw most things.. In cad its all about the vector and the text etc is just more dumb data even if it makes meta data the meta data doesnt drive the vector information...

The more I look at this the more I think the way we have traditionally arrange the data structurally (geometry referenced to drawing where annotation is added) is not the way we should be doing it. The link between dimensions associated to data via references is inherently problematic and prone to disassociation. The only way I see to create solid dependable associations it to incorporate dimensions in the geometry data file, not in an independent drawings. I think a workable solutions is to incorporate the data that needs association (dimensions, items etc) in a drawing model in the same file with the geometry database rather than part of a separate drawing file.
