Using OLE in MSTN

MicroStation can import files from external application such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
Link an Excel Sheet to MicroStation:
1. Open the Excel file and Select the amount of data you want to copy.
2. From the Excel pulldown Edit > Copy. The data is copied to the clipboard.
3. Open the MicroStation file you want to paste the Excel Sheet into.
4. From the MicroStation pulldown Edit > Paste Special. The Paste Special dialog appears.
5. From the list of Data Type select “Linked Microsoft Excel Worksheet”
6. Select the Paste icon.
7. In the Paste OLE Tool Settings dialog set the Method to By Size and set the appropriate scale.
8. Place a data point in the view to place the linked excel sheet.

Importing Options:
There are three ways to import the source files as pictures, embedded files, or linked files.
• A picture is a screen capture of the application. The image is static and is not updated when changes are made to the source.
• An embedded file is imported and saved into the DGN file. Edits made to the embedded file are saved in the DGN file.
• A linked file is imported to the DGN file but still resides in the original application. Edits are made to the source file and can be updated using the MicroStation Update link tool.

MicroStation Viewing:
When viewing a linked or embedded file in MicroStation it may appear shaded. This is due to the source application, Excel, being currently opened and its worksheet edited (see screen shot below). Once the source application is saved and closed the shading will not be seen in MicroStation.

OLE Updating:
After changes are made to the source application the data stored in the DGN file will need updating. OLE data can be updated from the MicroStation pulldown menu Edit > Update Links

Quick two-letter MicroStation key-ins

Although a graphical user interface is great for many things, sometimes it's faster to use two-letter MicroStation key-ins to adjust settings. For example, to set the active scale to 2.0, you can simply type "as=2" in the key-in browser. MicroStation has quite an extensive list of these two-letter key-ins for setting all manner of things from the active level and color, which just about everyone is familiar with, to saving or activating views. The following is a list of two-letter key-ins separated by categories (do not use a space before the equal sign for these key-ins):
