Used to define Picklists. A
Picklist is a set of values associated with an item type property definition.
Picklists can have text, numbers and integers as values. For example an item
type for Doors can have a Picklist named
Material associated with its property
definition, Type.
Material Picklist can have different values like
Glass, Wood, Steel. A Picklist named
Door Number, can have values 5, 12, 20 and so on
and a Picklist named
Weight can have values like 25.5, 50.28, 36.6
and so on.
Note: Picklists are
supported only in V8 DGN (*.dgn) and DGN Library (*.dgnlib) files.
