You have the option to 're-map' the Field Name prior to the export. Ungroup the Properties, then key in a new name in the Mapped Name field in the Property Parameters tab. This will allow you to reduce the name to conform to the 10-character dBase field limit.

Wiki Page: Where to set the default attachment settings for raster images
Applies To Product(s): MicroStation Version(s): 08.11.07.xx and newer Environment: N/A Area: Raster Subarea: Original Author: Jason Gingrich, Bentley Technical Support Group Explanation When attaching an image in Microstation V8i there is an attachment settings dialog that comes up after selecting the image to attached and selecting open. This dialog has many settings for the raster image. You can change these defaults by going to workspace - preferences - raster manager - default attributes tab and then click on the "Set Default Attributes" button. This will open up the same Attachment Settings dialog as when you attach an image. Set the defaults to the desired values and click OK to exit the dialog and then click OK to close the preferences dialog. Then in Micrsostation do a file - save settings. These settings are stored in the workspace's user preferences file (.upf). If this is ever deleted or a different workspace is used these defaults will need to be set again.

Forum Post: ORACLE CONNECTION
Hi Guys, I want to use an oracle connection in Microstation. My Oracle Client is here : c:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1 . MS_ORACLE_HOME also is set to c:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1. As this client is NOT my preferred client for other programs that connect to Oracle, it is not published in the PATH Variable or at least not published first place. When I want to connect, using SESSION DEBUG ON , then MS shouts unable to load c:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin\orasql11.dll This is urgent. Could anyone please tell me whats going on? Regards, Stefan.

Forum Post: RE: ORACLE CONNECTION
Some other questions for the group.... Can you run SQLPlus from the command prompt ? Probably not since the client Oracle home is not in the path.... Do you have more than one Oracle Client installed ? Are we sure the MS_ORACLE_HOME configuration variable gets set correctly ? Run Microstation/Workspace with the -debug command line variable and review the msdebg.txt file for possible anomalies.

Wiki Page: Bentley Descartes - Combine Image Tool Error
Using a 3D design file and receive “All the images must be on the same plane” message when using the Combine Image tool. Double click on the raster image name in Raster Manager. This will bring up an Element Information box. Under Geometry Origin compare the Z value of the raster images being used. The Z value must be the same on all of your raster images that are being used in Combine Image tool. For Example: If the Z value is 0.0000 on one raster image and the Z value is 0.5000 on the other raster image then you will get the error message. Change the Z value on the one that is 0.5000 to 0.0000 and try it again. In 3D dgn files the Z elevation manages the display order.

Wiki Page: Bentley Descartes - Raster Vectorization
Raster Vectorization Bentley Descartes offers the possibility to detect vector like group of pixels (i.e. : line on a black and white scanned plan) and create a basic geometry element representing that detected group of pixels. The Vectorize tool box includes a set of enhanced editing tools that support extraction of feature information from images. This tool box can be accessed via the Raster Manager Tools menu or from the Descartes Raster Edit tool box. Place Element / Continue Element / Insert Element The first three tools, Place Element , Continue Element and Insert Element , are for placing a new element or continuing or editing an existing one. They are manual and directly controlled by the operator when raster data is not present or not used. They are more or less automatic when raster data is present and used. Place Element is used to place a new vector element in the design file and can be used with or without raster data being present. The resulting element is a complex chain which consist of one or more line string elements and can contain arcs. Tool settings include: Erase Raster ‐ If on, the raster in the selected extent will be erased. Entity ‐ Defines where to place the nodes. Mask ‐ Used to select the color mask. Max. Line Width ‐ Used to determine the maximum width of raster lines. I ntersections ‐ If this option is on, the line‐following engine will not stop at the intersections. Gap Jumping ‐ Use to set the Maximum Gap Length and the Searching Angle. Confirm Jump ‐ When this option is ON, the vectorize engine stops after it performs a jump and waits for user input to continue. Auto Convert Arcs ‐ If on, this feature tries to recognize arcs along the line strings generated with the convert function. Generalization ‐ If on, when a vector line is generated by automatic line conversion, it is passed through a generalization process. This process removes points from the original result to keep only those considered as necessary to characterize the original pathway of the vector line. Tolerance ‐ Use to enter the tolerance factor that determines the smoothness of curves Continue Element allows you to select an existing element and continue placing line strings or arcs from the chosen end. The result is one continuous line string. This tool works exactly like Place Element, except it allows you to select an existing element before continuing. It shares the same tool settings as Place Element. Insert Element is a combination of MicroStation's Partial Delete and Insert Vertex . It removes a portion of a line which is defined by two data points. A new line string is then placed between the points. After specifying the portion to be modified, this tool works like Place Element and it has the same settings except Auto Convert which is not present. The resulting element, made of two former portions and the new one, will be a complex chain. You can place the new part of the element with any of the three modes: Point, Stream or Arc. Productivity Tip: Use the F1 function key to quickly toggle between the three placement modes: Points, Stream, and Arcs. Convert Automatic line conversion consists of following lines and outlines, or following the boundaries between a mass of pixels belonging to a given color mask and the rest of the image. Bentley Descartes provides a rich collection of tools for automatic document conversion. These tools are: Convert Lines, Convert Area, Convert All Connected Lines, Convert Contour Lines, and Convert Circle. Productivity Tip: Ensure that the active colour is different than the pixel colours. This will help you to keep track of your progress as you vectorize the document. Lines The Convert Lines tool is used to automatically convert one or more raster lines and to place a line string for each raster line which is converted. The behavior of this tools depends upon where it is started. For example, if it's started along a raster line, then that raster line is converted in both directions until a break point (raster intersection point, raster end point, or node) is hit. Likewise, if the tool is started at a raster intersection, all branches will be processed until a break point is hit. Tool settings are the same as Place Element with the addition of Auto Continue. If Auto Continue is turned on, then Continue Element will be automatically selected after a part of the line is converted. Productivity Tip: Always set the the Max Line Width value slightly larger than what you've measured. Area The Convert Area tool is used to convert a predefined area as specified in the tool settings. This tool shares many of the same options as Convert Lines. Productivity Tip: Set the line quality of your document in the Convert tab of Descartes preferences. To assess the quality of the lines, display a few samples with a 1:1 resolution. If you see smooth, solid lines, the quality is excellent. And lines with with holes and repeating gaps would be declared as having poor or bad quality. All Connected Lines Convert All Connected Lines is used to convert all raster branches forming a network of lines connected at intersections and to place a vector string for each raster line which is converted. This tool can start conversion from anywhere on the network of lines to be converted: along a line, on an intersection, at the end of a line, or even on a node. Convert All Connected Lines shares many of the same tool options as Convert Lines and Convert Area . Contour Lines Convert Contour Lines is used to automatically convert one or more raster contour lines and to place a line string for each raster line which is converted. In addition, it is possible to assign the elevation for the contour being traced and to increment the Z value for subsequent contour lines. This tool is used only with 3D design files and shares many of the same options as Convert Lines . Circle Convert Circle is used to automatically convert a raster circle and place a vector circle in the design file. Tool settings specify options to control the behaviour of this tool. Attention should be made to the Lock option which constrains the conversion to the same diameter or radius setting and ignores the round off setting. Additional settings, that are specific to vectorizing circles, can be found in the Vectorize tab of the Descartes preferences. Generalize Vector The Generalize Vector tool removes vertices from the vector linework created by the convert tool. When processed, it only keeps those points that are considered necessary to characterize the original pathway of the vector line. Productivity Tip: To avoid drastic, and perhaps unwanted, changes to the elements, always start with a small tolerance and increase it until the desired results are obtained. Place Nodes / Move Nodes / Delete Nodes Nodes are features allowing the user to control the vectorize functions by stopping or constraining automatic line conversion. The main property of a node, which is a point surrounded by a control area, is to stop all automatic line conversion functions and to force the generated vector element to snap to it. They are manually placed with the Place Nodes tool, moved with the Move Nodes tool and removed with the Delete Nodes tool. They can also be automatically placed at specific points with the Auto Place Nodes toggle on. Nodes can be created, displayed, deleted, or saved into files and restored for later use. Productivity Tip: The node colour can be changed in the Vectorize tab of the Descartes preferences which is found in the Workspace preferences dialog. Productivity Tip: The size of a node varies with the situation: If it is placed on a line with a raster snap, it is a little larger than the line. If it is placed where there is no line, or with no raster snap, or with an "outline" snap, it is the size of the locate tolerance set in MicroStation. Text / Cells Bentley Descartes provides a suite of tools that extract text or symbols from scanned drawings and places them as vector elements in the design file. Features allow automatic multiple raster text selection and conversion. Combined with the Vectorize tools presented in the previous section, these tools provide an efficient environment for data conversion projects. The Text / Cells tool box can be found in Descartes Raster Edit or the Tools menu of the Raster Manager contains the following tools: Select Horizontal Text, Select Oriented Text, Select Multiple Text, Delete Text Selection, Convert Text, Text Settings, Convert Cell, Convert Horizontal Cell, and Convert Oriented Cell Optical Character Recognition (OCR) OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is used to automatically convert selected raster text strings to DGN text elements. This feature is invoked with the Convert Text tool, or when the Convert Now option is enabled with the text selection tools. Fit Text ‐ If on, the text is fitted inside the rectangular box and several text attributes are set. If off, the text is placed by using MicroStation’s active text attributes. Preview ‐ Is used to preview the vector text element inside the selection box. Erase Raster ‐ If on, the raster in the selection box will be erased. Text Recognition ‐ Is used to activate the OCR feature. Use Dictionary ‐ When on, the OCR feature will run using a dictionary which can be specified and customized in the Text Settings option. When text is selected and entered into the OCR process, a special text editor dialog will be displayed. The word processing area is used to enter the vector text string or to preview the proposed text corresponding to the highlighted raster text string. In the case of multiple text selections, the active selection is bounded by a red box, while the inactive selections are in the queue and are shown in green. The Text Settings tool is used to open the Set Descartes Preferences dialog which contains specific settings for vectorization and text conversion. This dialog can also be accessed via Workspace Preferences. Convert Cell / Convert Horizontal Cell / Convert Oriented Cell Convert Cell places a MicroStation cell with it's default settings and optionally erases the underlying raster data. The area to erase is determined by the extents of the cell. The cell placement settings are determined by MicroStation's Place Active Cell tool. Convert Horizontal Cell and Convert Oriented Cell are similar to Convert Cell but provide additional options to rotate and scale the cell interactively. Productivity Tip: When using Convert Cell , you can quickly scale or rotate the incoming symbol by using the AA= and AS= keyins.

I agree with you Frank. There are several Change Requests on the books for this issue, # 295365 being the predominant request from the civil engineering industry. The software should recognize the dimension of the file and prompt the User to continue or not (leaving it up to the User to understand the requirements of the command).
