DAT/EM MAP/EDITOR for MicroStation is a full 3D editing package for MicroStation DGN files. It has many time-saving tools that process groups of objects, and includes vertex and partial line string editing, and 2D digitizing commands. MAP/EDITOR contains both interactive and batch mode commands to accommodate every editing need, from running a single command on a single element to running multiple commands across multiple files.

MAP/EDITOR is an MDL application that works completely within MicroStation V8 and J with Windows 2000/XP^®.

MAP/EDITOR features include:

• BREAK elements at selected vertices near points, or on an intersecting element or fence

• BREAKLINE FILTER deletes or modifies points from the area in or near line strings, fences and/or shapes

• CHANGE ATTRIBUTES to standardize or change combinations of level, color, weight and line code

• CHECK ATTRIBUTES displays a list or report of unverified objects for interactive editing

• CLIP and remove elements from inside or outside of shapes

• CURVE TO LINE STRING converts curve to line strings

• DELETE objects based on attributes

• DTM DISTRIBUTOR merges multiple DTM point distributions into one evenly spaced DTM grid

• FILTER line strings to remove unneeded vertices while preserving the original shape of the line string

• FIND DUPLICATE objects and display them for editing

• FIND COMPLEX HEADER verifies and repairs complex line strings and complex shapes and compresses them to the least possible number of components, even dropping complex status when possible

• JOIN sets of line strings into single elements

• LINE STRINGS TO CURVE converts line strings to curve

• PATTERN performs global patterning and pattern removal

• REPLACE one object type with another, or change text strings and cells

• ROTATE objects based on attributes

• SCALLOP line strings defining trees or vegetation

• SMOOTH line strings by adding vertices for smoother appearance

• SQUARE existing line strings or shapes

• TOUCH and trim line and line strings of one symbology to objects on another symbology

• ZCHECK marks and zooms to conflicting Z values and XY intersections

There are over 60 additional commands to efficiently and accurately prepare DGN files for final delivery. Many of these are developed based on user input and request.
