Question

I am translating point geometries from Smallworld to Cells in MicroStation. I need to be able to capture the scale of the Smallworld object and use it to scale the Cell in MicroStation the same amount.

I selected the sworld_scale  on the feature type properties attributes in hopes that would take care of it, however I cannot seem to find an appropriate Target Attribute in the AttributeCopier Parameters.​

Are you using a DGNStyler? There you can set the scale of a cell.

​I have never used the DGNStyler, however upon reading the information about it, it looks like I need to set a scale that I want to use. The problem is that the Incoming geometries may be at different scales when they are translated and I want to capture the scale of each geometry and scale the MicroStation cell the same amount. So geometry 1 has a scale of 1, geometry 2 has a scale of 0.25 and geometry 3 has a scale of 1.5. they are all the same geometry type in Smallworld and will be translating using the same cell in MicroStation.. I would like to scale the Cell in MicroStation to match the scale of the Smallworld geometry.

You can do that with DGNStyler. The Scale can be set with an attribute. I understand the "sworld_scale" you have mentioned is an attribute of every feature, right?

​Thanks.. I will try this today and see what I get..
