Dear All,

SelectBy option also doesn't support in this case.

Please help me.

Vasu,

You would have to look for a custom line style linkage on elements yourself.
It's ID # is negative for custom line styles.

Just analyze a few element's w/custom line styles, piece together the user
data linkage format (signature, wtf, ID), then write a routine to filter
based on the value of the line style ID you want in the line style user data
linkage.

Upon looking at Edit > Select by Attributes in 07.01.04.10, it appears that
you can indeed filter by custom line style.

Edit > Select by attributes
Style > Custom
Select the desired line style
Adjust the level/element selections as needed.
Execute.

You may also find Bentley's discussion groups of assistance.These groups are
an excellent technical resource for all users of Bentley products and
services. Hope to see you
there! For more information take a peek at this page:

Thanks Lot.

But I have some custom linestyles ("Bline", "Cline") in my dgn, which
are created by client. I don't have the respective .rsc files also.
(Line style resource). Hence i couldn't filter those line style
elements trough SelectBy.

In this case what I have to do?. How can I extract the current dgn all
line styles (.rsc files)?

Please help me.

Vasu,

One solution would be to create custom line styles called "bline"
and "cline" as blank or style 0 lines... Then you can use the filter
in the selectby attributes dialog. Obviously the best solution is to
contact the person who gave you the files to get the .rsc.

The linestyle definitions are not held in the drawing file so there is no
way to extract them.

Vasu:

One approach may be to use EDG.

Search for the particular element type number in EDG. EDG will return a
list of elements of that type. Change the color in EDG to a unique color
number, or change the level of the selected elements to a unique level.
Close EDG. Display the design file with only those levels turned on. The
changes will be visible on screen, and you may search for or filter
elements based on the color or level, for example.

I'm not an EDG expert, and EDG experts may have more to say.

Ralph Hertle for EdG approach - It should work, because i know Edg,
but not yet checked.

PlottingGuy for "Bline, cline as Blank idea" - It's working fine.
Really appreciate you. Very good idea.

Thanks a ton to both of you.
