Drop Fence Contents tool

Used to break up the contents in a fence into their components. The elements can then be manipulated individually.

Note: For additional details on using the Drop Fence Contentstool, refer to the MicroStation platform help.

Setting	Description
Complex	If on, complex elements (cell, complex chain, complex shape, text node, surface, or solid) are dropped into their components.
Dimensions	If on, dimension element(s) are dropped into lines, line strings, ellipses, arcs, and text. To Geometry — Drops down lines, line strings, ellipses, arcs, and text. To Segment — Drops down individual dimension segments.
Line Strings/Shapes	If on, line strings and shapes are converted to series of individual line elements.
Multi-lines	If on, multi-line elements are converted to sets of line strings, lines, and/or arcs.
Shared Cells	If on, the associated option menu lets you drop shared cells: To Geometry — They are dropped into their components. To Normal Cell — They are converted to unshared cells.
Text	If on, text characters in text elements are converted to the individual elements that are used to draw the characters — lines, line strings, arcs, ellipses, and shapes.
Application Elements	If on, used to drop light weight geometry.
Fence Mode	Sets how the fence contents are determined. Inside Overlap Clip Void Void-Overlap Void-Clip

Note: Drop Fence Contents cannot be used to drop elements more than one level at a time. For example, if you turn on Complex and Line Strings/Shapes and operate on a complex shape that contains two line strings, the complex shape is dropped but the component line strings are not. That is, the operation results in two line strings.
