Question

Define Item Sets for dgn reader (v8)

Hi Team

I have been excited to use the dgn reader in 2020 that allows you to view Item Set Attributes.

It does work in one regard however the issue we are facing is that the item name (attribute) gets prefixed with the set name and therefore you end up with 100's of attributes, even though there may only be really 10. Besides using an iterative Bulk Attribute rename has anyone got any other ideas?

You can see in the screenshot below that there are about 15 different attributes (ie Asset, Count, Comments etc) however they come through as a separate attribute for each item set.

 

Thanks very much

Dominique

I'm presuming that for each feature, only one set of prefixed attributes exists?

In which case you could just use a bulk attribute renamer with the regex

.*\.

To rename by removing everything in front of the .

Thanks very much @ebygomm. That cleans them up nicely! Hoping in future releases of the reader there may be a neater way to that on the initial read as opposed to bringing in thousands of attributes.
