Topic: Microstation Cells

[nyah]

Hi Guys

Can you attach a "mask" to a cell, [block] that gives you the wipeout facility in Microstation like the wipeout in Autocad.

What is in the place of Dynamic blocks in Autocad, what does Microstation have instead?

Liked the DDD concept only thing is we dont need to dimensioning anything because the drawings are NTS Piping & Instrumentation diagrams

Thanks

Its been a while since I used Microstation, but I think a dynamic blocks in AutoCAD are imported as different cell definitions ... which means I don't think there is an analogous comparison to the functionality.

As for the mask, in AutoCAD the mask for wipeout is essentially an image entity without an image attached and the opacity set to 100%. Perhaps you could use that idea to achieve the same (provided of course Microstation has not implemented just such a functionality).
