Module Overview
Cells can represent complex elements that you use regularly in your designs. Rather than redraw them each times, you can save them in a cell library to recall for repeated use. This module discusses how to create and maintain them.
Module Prerequisites
- Knowledge of basic MicroStation commands and procedures
- Knowledge about basic MicroStation tools
- Knowledge about models
- Knowledge about cell placement
Module Objectives
Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
- Create a cell library
- Create an edit cells
- Create annotation scale
- Access the cells that you need
- Create a cell index
- Create an HTML page from a cell library
Finally some useful cell information from the guys at Bentley, I was disappointed with their essential guide to cells which should have been more appropriately called absolutely basic guide to cells.
In my various travels, and my various positions, having the opportunity to meet many users or different levels of ability, their use and abuse of cells and blocks has always been the thing that I found difficulty in explaining.
In general, when a drafter\designer is not using a vertical product InRoads, Civil3D, TriForma, Architecture or whatever it might be, whenever a vanilla base product is being used, the number of elements in the file which are not cells or blocks is the most obvious clue to the level of expertise of the user.
Less ability can be directly derived from designs and drawings with fewer cells and blocks.
And moreover, the inability of a user to understand why this is a truism, is sure evidence that that user will never truly be a advanced user.
