Working with Cell Libraries Stored in ProjectWise
When you have a document open in integrated MicroStation, you can attach a cell library that is stored in ProjectWise, or you can create a new cell library and store it in ProjectWise.
When you attach a cell library that is stored in ProjectWise, you can check out the cell library (so it can be edited) or attach it as read-only. When you create a new cell library in ProjectWise, that cell library document is automatically checked out and attached to the open document.
Create and attach a cell library stored in ProjectWise, using the integrated Create Cell Library dialog
- From the Annotate ribbon, select Cells.
- In the Create Cell Library dialog, select File > New.
- If the Select a Wizard
dialog opens, select
No Wizard and click
OK.
ProjectWise's Create Cell Library dialog opens.
- To change the folder or
work area in which the new cell library
document will be stored, click
Select in the
Folder section.
By default the cell library document will be stored in the same folder or work area as the open document.
- Turn on the check box next to the Name field if you want the file name to match the document name, otherwise turn off the check box next to the Name field if you want to edit the file name independently of the document name.
- Enter information in the
Name,
Description and
File Name fields as needed.
A description for the document is optional, but the document must have a name and a file name, and both the (document) name and file name must be unique in the folder or work area in which you select to save the document. The cell library file name will be automatically assigned the .CEL extension.
- Assign a
ProjectWise application and department to this
document from the
Application and
Department lists. You can set both to
<none> if necessary.
The cell library document is automatically associated to the ProjectWise application, 'MicroStation'.
- Click
Save.
The cell library is created, checked out, and added to the Create Cell Library dialog.
