I've been using Microstation for a few years now, & haven't really
looked into how it handles 'viewports'.
In acad, you create a new layout & then 1 or more viewports. What's
the Microstation equivalent?
I've been creating a new dgn, referencing in a title dgn, then
referencing in the topo/design (I do civil engineering) & cropping it
to a fence. Can a dgn be referenced into itself, say beside the
design, so it can be set up into separate drawings?

Okay, you can reference a dgn into itself, but clipping it behaves
differently between V7 & V8. With V7, you draw a clip fence & the
select 'clip boundary' from the ref manager. This clips whatever's
outside the fence.
With V8, it clips whatever's inside the fence. How do you get it to
behave like V7?

Nevermind, I got my answer, it was set to object, not fence.

Hello Chris,
the Mst V8 equivalent is: create a sheet model in the current design file
and then reference the drawing model(s) into it. Plot from the sheet model
(= Layout in Acad).

Thanks. I looked in V8's help file, & it just tells you to create a

sheet model, but it doesn't tell you how. How is a sheet model
created?

----------------------

When creating a new model (open the model dialog box) you can choose between
drawing model and sheet model. That's all.
