Add support for DWG Block Visibility States

AutoCAD allows for setting different visibility states in their blocks. These need to be supported in MicroStation, not only for better DWG file interoperability, but it would be a great enhancement to shared cells as well.

Tables should be able to show graphics as well as text

Could we have a new table class DgnTable? The CONNECT TextTable displays only text elements. It would be useful to include graphics as well. That would provide a native solution for, say, a Legend.

Better parametric array options

Right now it is quite limited. Arraying objects along path especially should enable: -orientation lock to vertical or custom direction (for example: railing posts along 3d curves should remain vertical) -arraying along path should enable planar ro...

Report should not show rows and columns that are hidden in Excel document.

Many Excel spread sheet that we use have rows and columns that are hidden. When importing these into Tables those hidden rows and columns are not hidden any more. Tables should import from excel exactly like they are shown in Excel spread sheet.

Fence Stretch Option to NOT add nodes to properties

Fence stretching smart solids was common place in v8i, but the tool is clumsy at best with parametric solids it adds un-wanted nodes and clutters up the properties menu. I imagine some users like myself would prefer it just stretch the underlying ...

Allow point Shapefiles to display a cell when attaching as a reference.

When attaching a Shapefile as a reference you may specify an Element Template to display the Shapefile graphics in the symbology defined by the template. For point feature Shapefile attachments it would be very helpful to have the point display be...
