Topic: XData and Dictionaries in Microstation

[Keith™]

Is it possible to have an equivalent to XData and/or Dictionaries in a microstation drawing .. and if so, I would sincerely appreciate a bit of direction on how to make it happen ..

[Keith™]

Well .. since you guys were no help, I actually had to read the help file ... UGGGGHHHHHH ....


Anyway, Microstation does have xdata, just like AutoCAD, except it must be implemented a little bit differently... something akin to dictionaries/xrecords are also available, something called an ApplicationElement and DataBlock working together to place information in a drawing ... so yes it is available, but somewhat of a pain to manage ... I'll manage though ..

Ok Keith...

seems that you are a "closet" microstation user...

So, how much Microstation are you doing?
Is this in regards to your home building duties or something else?

If I knew anything about Xdata or dictionaries, I would have said something.
I just don't know about them in either platform

Well, lets just say that I am having to learn the ins and outs of it for the sake of a major contract that I stand to make a lot of money from when it is completed .. and it may involve alot more work in the future.

Well, welcome and hope that this venture works out for you. Money is money.
