With the increase in data being added to a DGN files, the file sizes are increasing, more so with the huge DWG files that are coming about.This all relates to a time it takes to open Bentley applications. It would be good to have open dialog optio...

What's in a DGNLIB? This question has been asked a few times on the V8i Forums.BackgroundAdministrators are increasingly using DGNLIBs to define project standards. That's one reason why Bentley invented DGNLIBs, to provide a project-wide resource....

MicroStation CONNECT Reports let you export DGN data to an external file. You can choose various file formats, including Excel.There is an apparently-related key-in command REPORTS EXPORT. However, that command is not documented and appears to do ...

Can we have a multi format export tool. (DGN, DWG & PDF) one dialog does all. with options to customise the output paths, file types, zip files etcReasonMost projects require the DGN file format to be issued as DWG and PDF and in some cases a ...

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...

Transfered from EAP Ideas listCould we have the option to 'geo-locate' the pdf on export, please?This should work like geolocated tiff files: When you import or reference them, Mstn scales, rotates, moves them automatically.There should also be th...

This would be really beneficial to be able to apply projectwise attributes as itemtype metadata, very useful for collaboration & Digital Engineering data exchange.

Transfered from EAP Ideas list Better links between Place Cell and Cell Library DialogIncoporation of parametrics in all Cellrelated Dialogs.Better integration of arraying tools/options, connectors/hookpoints when dealing with smart/parametric obj...

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.

The AutoCAD based annotation scaling is far beyond the Microstations annotation scaling. Autocad has element based n-scale techniques to place notes at different origins with different sizes for different scales. Text styles property for texts and...
