Element Template Checker Settings Dialog

Used to identify source files containing standards, and the properties to check against the standards.

You can access this dialog from the following:
  • Standards Checker dialog: click the Settings button next to the Check Element Templates field
  • Standards Checker Settings dialog: click the Settings button next to the Check Element Templates field


SettingDescription
Standard Element Templates Source Identifies the DGN libraries (DGNLibs) that contain the standards. When a standards check is run in a DGN file, the contents of the DGN file are checked against the standards in the selected DGNLibs.
  • Configured DGNLibs — If selected, the files specified by the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable are used as the standards.
  • Selected DGNLibs — If selected, only the files in the DGNLibs list are used as the standards. To remove a file from the list, select a file, then click Remove Selected DGNLib(s) from list.
  • <Active Filename> — If selected, the open file is used as the standards source. With this option, you can create a standards file that includes both the actual standards and the settings for checking those standards.
Checks to Perform
  • Check Local Templates — If checked, the Standards Checker checks the open DGN file's local element templates against the templates defined in the DGN libraries.
  • Check Elements — If checked, the Standards Checker checks all elements in the open DGN file against the local templates with which they are associated.
Properties to Check If a property is selected, the Standards Checker compares the value for the property in the standards to the value for the property in the file being checked. You can check any or all of the properties stored in an element template.
