Greetings all;
Subject: Copy/Move Fence Content to File
I have updated to MicroStation Connect update 16 recently from V8i. I am working on AutoCAD files for my project in 2d . When providing a “copy” file to my customer I normally make a fence clip file of my work to illustrate my status. The master drawing is made up of reference files (architectural, process equipment, mechanical etc.) and has the clip boundaries of the reference files. When I use the “Save to Fence” command and chose the Copy Clip command, the file is saved but I have noticed that the entities that are blocks or grouped entities do not clip and are also fully included which is not what I am expecting to see. In the V8i version “Copy/Move Fence Content to File” the file is clipped perfectly as what I intend the file to be. Whatever was in the “block section” or grouped entities usually appears to be exploded or as a drop element. It appears that V8i has logical operation process when dealing with the clip references and knowing what to do when the fence crosses a block (or cell) boundary or grouped entities and knows to clip at the clipping boundary of each reference file and clips everything inside that boundary regardless.
Are there configuration settings to allow for fence file copy in Connect version as like what was for V8i version? Is “Save to Fence” in Connect version intended to be the same as “Copy/Move Fence Content to File” in V8i?
