Global File Changer's Element Selection dialog box
|
Global File Changer's Element Selection utility puts Select By Attributes to shameMicroStation's Select By Attributes can be useful in making a simple selection set, but it is limited in the types of element attributes it can isolate and the values it can assign in a single selection. The Element Selection Utility built into Global File Changer has no such limitations. Virtually any element attribute or set of attributes can be used to select elements in just one design file — or in hundreds. With Global File Changer's Element Selection tool, you are able to use just about any element specific property to create a precise selection set. For example: with SHAPES you can designate whether the shape you want to select is a filled shape or not, and if it is filled, which fill color you want to select. You can also isolate shapes by the number of vertices they contain or their perimeter size as a precise value or within a range. This type of fine-tuning is not possible with Select By Attributes. In addition you can select multiple symbology values or use ranges of values or both. As an example you could select only displayed tags that are placed with colors 0-7, style 0 or by Level and any of the weights 1, 2 or 3. You can make that one selection set and assign it a name. With Select By Attributes you would not be able to isolate tags to begin with, but even if you could, it would still require 48 separate selection sets to isolate every combination of color and weight we just described. Isolating the exact elements and only the exact elements you need to change is critical in making successful bulk changes to important project files. Global File Changer's Element Selection utility makes this possible. Global File Changer's element selection feature picks up where "Select By Attributes" leaves off, giving you far more control than ever before possible. |
Powerful custom commands give you even more control over your design filesIn addition to executing MicroStation key-in commands, Global File Changer has dozens of its own built-in commands. These commands let you easily make the following types of changes to any number of design files with a single command:
|
![]() Custom commands such as the The "Move Elements to Different Levels" lets you easily make changes — in batch — in just a few or in hundreds or thousands of design files.
![]() Easily replace text throughout a project with a few simple steps. You can even use wildcards.

MicroStation V8i, ProjectWise support and moreThe need to find and replace various pieces of text throughout a set of design files is something that happens all the time for any number of reasons. Whether it's making a date change on every sheet in a project or replacing the prefix on every part identification number displayed in thousands of cells throughout a large set of design files, it's inevitable that changes will be needed. When you have to process lots of files or make lots of different changes, it can be time-consuming, tedious and error-prone. It doesn't have to be. Global File Changer works with the following:
