Currently ProjectWise documents are displayed with local paths (and variables) in the Reference dialog that is useless to users and makes it difficult to clearly identify where the document is stored on ProjectWise. Having a more polished integrat...

Am ifc file comes with a lot of property information. This information, however, is not imported into MicroStation. Only the graphics and the class is imported (not even OBD has this functionality) In contrast when you e.g. create an iModel from R...

I came across some threads on the OBD forums about BCF compatibility. There are already some ideas on the MS ideas portal as well, but all seem a bit fragmented. I think what we really need is a complete BCF manager, either developped by Bentley o...

TextFields display a property of a DGN element, model or file. Could they be extended to store a URL, similar to a DgnLink? If a text element could contain a TextField with a hyperlink (URL), then a user could view related data on a web site.

A TextTable contains rows, columns and cells. A cell displays text. If we could add a hyperlink (URL) to the text in a cell then tables would become more useful. This is analogous to the DgnLink that we can add to a DGN element. Scenario 1 I have ...

A MicroStation PickList provides a list of alphanumeric data. They are used primarily when assigning Item Types to an element: the operator can pick a value from a list. It works well, but could be better. If a PickList were to support multiple co...

We can add a DGN Link to an element. That link may refer to a file by a fully-qualified name e.g. \\MyServer\Documents\Office\Word\word.docx. It may be a relative path. Could we use a MicroStation Configuration Variable when defining a file link? ...

When opening DWG files, there are error messages that certain SHX files are missing. There is no information about how that SHX file was used in the drawing. Text and linestyles that use that SHX will not display correctly, however, that change ma...

It's great that you can import models from another DGN. But, there are numerous times that I've wished I could export a model to the file system via drag-n-drop. The purpose is to support rapid re-compiling or restructuring of DGN file contents wh...
