- Inference Rules
  - This new tool allows you to create feature definitions for the inferred features in the active session.
  - The New Live Feature Detection Rules dialog is like MicroStation’s Display Rules dialog. You use an editor to specify conditions in-which the elements are to be inferred as features in the Map Schema. It is also possible with the rules to set property values for the inferred feature based on information extracted from the CAD element. Conditions can be added and or combined to ensure the Features meet your Schema specifications.
