Editing the Active Entity

You can edit the Active Entity from within MicroStation before linking it to an element using an SQL UPDATE statement.

Note: Depending on Linkage Mode, which is set in the Database dialog, editing the Active Entity can change a row in the database. If Linkage Mode is set to New, the Active Entity is a prototype record; editing the Active Entity does not affect any rows. However, if Linkage Mode is not set to New, editing the Active Entity changes the corresponding row.
