Microstation VBA Beginners Guide

Using Microstation V8i (v8.11), I got started from scratch and had the hardest time figuring out how to do the most basic operations of creating a basic 2D drawing (a cross-section of a concrete column). This Wiki documents how to use Microstation VBA, assuming you already know how to make a simple VBA user form. I have disabled edits from non-users and I have even disabled allowing people to sign up. If you really want to contribute content, please e-mail me at: brted atsymbol yahoo period com.

I'm going to skip getting started in the project manager and VBA editor because that is actually pretty well documented.

Drawing Elements

That's as far as I've gotten.

Supporting Topics

Subroutines

  • FeetString - Takes decimal feet and outputs a string in feet, inches, and eighths
  • AngleString - Take an angle in radians and gives a string in hours, minutes, and seconds
  • SetLine - Give a line code, sets level, color, line weight, and type
