fix dimensions so they do not lose association so easily

I get so tired of dimensioning a 3d drawing then find out I have to alter the model and the dimension associations are lost.I can understand if there is a modification along a vertex, but not if it's on a different face.There has to be a way to av...

Enable/Disable Feature with True/False Variable

I see the enable toggle under feature properties but it would be much more powerful if you could tie it to a variable and let a true/false variable define it's state. This would allow users to turn many features on or off based on a single variable.

Parametric cells - Hosting elements on Planes and CoordinateSystems - new constraint types

Currently it is very difficult to control the angle of 3D elements with relation to a specific plane, and the 3D Angle constraint in particular lacks the ability to be able to adjust the angle between elements in the way that we want to it to. I t...

Import 3D surface(Bing?,Google?)

As Google Earth API no longer provides import of 3D elevation then need an alternative to this tool. If Bing doesn't provide this then maybe use similar service as in Conceptstation. Microstation being 3D solution seems moving back to 2D if no suc...

Data Cleanup of parametric solids

When deleting a feature the profile and some of the constraints can remain cleaning up this leftover data seems to be difficult and in some cases not possible. There should be an option under the compress menu or maybe data cleanup to remove any c...

Convert 3D mesh objects to 3D solids.

MicroStation should have Convert Mesh to Smooth Solid option. 3D meshes that completely enclose a volume, called watertight meshes, can be converted to 3D solids

Rebuild the Step import/export

Importing and exporting step files in microstation is hit or miss at best. For best results we have to import step files into autocad save them to dwg and then import the dwg into microstation. We also have better results exporting to dwg and then...

Open and Save As SolidWorks file types (Parts and Assemblies mainly)

I wonder why this software is excluded, when it used to be supported.

Dynamic Cell Features

The new Perforater tool allows the user to automatically boolean subtract from a host or intersecting solid. When the Parametric Cell containing the Perforator is moved, then boolen operation is moved automatically. This makes it a very flexible a...

Mirror/Rotate Feature "by points"

When using the rotate/mirror feature tools (and possibly others) the options list is about the: Design XYZ, View XYZ and Accudraw/ACS XYZ. Feels like all the classic and legacy mirror/rotate/revolve etc. all allow you to do so by points and you ca...
