Pinned ideas

PINNED Add measuring/pick distance tool in parametric solid and variables tools
As a MicroStation modelling user, I would like the capability of filling the Distance field by picking two points (or distance between other elements) from within the tool, so that I can be much quicker in creating solids and other elements where ...

When compressing a file, I'd like to be able to turn on or off all options with one click, not manually select/deselect all the compress options.

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.

Manipulate/Delete Multiple features at once

It's great that i can delete holes now but if i need to delete 20 holes frankly its faster to just start over in some cases. I know i can "delete above" but sometimes that's not easy to do in a long property tree. It would be great if i could hold...
