Seed File Microstation FreeAdd drawings into Micro. Station Sheet. Lets continue working on Micro. Station tutorial. This time we will create a new sheet using Micro. Station seed file we created before, then we will put our drawings inside it. Creating a new sheet. Lets start. In Micro. Station, you may add sheet model in the same or different DGN file. I dont really know how you Micro. Station users usually do this. But Auto. CAD users usually put the layout or sheet within the same file where they create the drawing. However, I see that in Autodesk vertical products, the 2. D generated drawings can be in different files. This also common when we use Sheet Set in Auto. CAD. Now I will let you decide where you want to put it. Or if your company already use Micro. Station, you may want to share how you do it. Now create a DGN file. Use the seed file we created before. We already have one sheet. Lets add one more. Go to menu file models. Click create a new model. In create model dialog, choose type sheet from seed. Then click the magnifier to choose our seed file.

In this dialog, change the detail scale to 1 1. Or if you use your own drawing, adjust the scale as necessary. Click OK. Now you can see the file listed in references dialog box. You also should see the drawing in your Micro. Station view. You can move the drawing when the file is selected in this dialog. You can move, copy, scale, and use other manipulate tools at the top of this dialog. Modify drawing boundary. Lets try to clip the reference. You can close or simply move the reference dialog box. Activate place block and draw a rectangle like below. Back to reference dialog box. Make sure the drawing is selected. Now activate clip reference. Pick the rectangle we created before. The drawing is now clipped. The other tools are at the bottom of this dialog. You can change the drawing scale, rotate it using the fields there.

I hope I can cover it soonPlacing 3. D model. Can we place 3d model Yes. D table in the 2nd sheet. The steps are the same. The difference is, after you select the file, you need to tell Micro. Station which view you want to use. Change the view to top and use 1 5 scale. Click OK, and the drawing now appear. Create projection view. A good tool that is really useful when you work with 3. D models is copyfold reference. This will add a new projected drawing based on selected reference. You can quickly add front and side view using this tool. Select which drawing you want to create projected view we only have one now then activate the tool. Click in your drawing where you want to put it. Dont forget to check the tool settingsSetting reference presentation. When you work with 3. D models, you may want to use different presentation. Below, I add one isometric view and set the drawing presentation to illustration. You can do it by selecting the drawing, then activate set reference presentation. By default, it will use the parent presentation. But we can override it for a specific drawing. You can change the display style in the opened dialog box. This tutorial ends here. Now you should be able to create your own seed file and add drawings with different scales and boundary inside your title block. We will cover more in references and views for 3. D.
