I would like to be able to annotate information on an element. Today this is very tedious (or its me that havent found a good way of doing it). I would like to have a tool that allows me to click on an element and then choose what information to show in text. It would also be good to be able to change the text and in that way change the element information connected to that text.
Hi Jan, MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 17 introduced the capability of creating Text Fields directly from Item Types properties.
It also introduces an easy way to access and change Item Types-driven text fields by simply double clicking on the them.
You can use this functionality together with the powerful Item Types expressions to extract the vast majority of dgn properties and use them in text fields.
Have look at the following blogs and videos for more information:
