34.4. MicroStation V9 Interface (9.05 SP0)

Offline Export with direct insert or small interface with only export functionality. A full interface is not currently available.[201]

Added direct insert of 3D models to MicroStation (rev. 108428). Done via DWG due to both Teigha and MicroStation APIs lacking many key functions for 3D DGN.

Expanded interface functionality:

  • Added an option to select MicroStation direct insert behavior:

    • Either place it in the active session (default)

      or

    • open the exported item in a new session.

    The relevant ifdwgdirect.cfg option is "UI_PlaceIntoActiveMicroStationSession".

    When the option is enabled, the "attach reference" dialog will be called in the active MicroStation session, allowing the user to choose the necessary placement options.

    [Note]Note

    The model is placed as an external reference this way and will require the exported file to maintain the link. This can be solved by merging the inserted reference into the master model (File->References->Tools->Merge into master).

  • Custom attributes can now be used to populate DWG file attributes.

    Add them to the CadDocumentAttributes section of the ifdwgdirect.cfg file and they will be assigned during export.

    For example, the following line will populate the "title" file attribute with the model's standard designation (NB).

    TITLE=?GetObject("iface.calcnameservice").start(0).Format("<ATTR(NB)>").alnum("_").value()
