I would like to create a customised Detail Symbol, how can I insert in the Detailing Symbol Style list?

Background

1) Create a copy of MetroStationDrawingSeed.dgnlib, usually located in the following path:  C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Example\WorkSets\MetroStation\Standards\Dgnlib\DrawComp

2) Call it for example: MetroStationCustomised.cel or test.cel etc...

Steps to Accomplish

1. Start Microstation Connect Edition and open the MetroStationCustomised.cel

2. Open Models (Home> Models) and create a Copy of the Model you want to change and rename it: for example Customised model and delete all the other models. Of Course you can create all new models you need

3. Open File>Settings>Configuration>Configuration Variable, double click on MS_DGNLIBLIST and append the following path: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Example\WorkSets\MetroStation\Standards\Dgnlib\*.cel    

                                                 

4. Save and close Microstation

5. Open a dgn file you want to put the customised callout, place it and click on "Show Detailing Symbol Style Settings ":      

                                                                                                                                                      

6. Click on default and navigate in the Properties: for example you add a new terminator for the Section callout. Click on the drop down menu and choose the new terminator:

   

7. Click on symbol save to obtain the new Detailing Symbol
