Improved support for DGN template files

DGN date exchange now supports cell libraries (*.cel files). The following template files are possible:

• Seed files: Seed files are only used if a new file is created. If an existing file is expanded, the Seed file is ignored.
• DGN libraries (*.dgnlib): DGN libraries are loaded alphabetically. Using the MicroStation V8 specific tab in the Settings, you can specify the folder the program is to scan for DGN libraries.
• Cell libraries (*.cel): Cell libraries are loaded alphabetically. The folder set for DGN libraries is also used for cell libraries.
• RSC files: RSC files contain MicroStation font definition files.

More information on resources

If a resource with an identical name is found in the destination file, this resource is not copied from the source (DGN library or cell library) to the destination file.

• Units: The units are taken from the Seed file or the file to be expanded.
• Colors: The color table in the Seed file is used.
  • If a Seed file is not used, the default color table applies.
  • In addition, all the RGB colors in the LevelTable can be used.
• Models: The models that are available as cells in MicroStation are available as macros. The models are copied to the SharedCellDefinitionTable of the destination file.
• LevelFilter, LineStyleDef, Dimstyle, Multilinestyle: These resources are only added to the table; they are not assigned.

Log file

The log file lists the paths and DGN libraries and cell libraries used.
