Item Type Expression to set a GUID as Property value
Background
Request from User:
My question was if it is possible to generate a random GUID and put it into a Item Type. A GUID is a Globally Unique Identifier. Also known as a UUID, or Universally Unique Identifier. It’s basically a 128bit number. I am looking to use this to link our Item Type information in MicroStation or OpenRoads Designer to asset information in GIS.
Steps to Accomplish
Currently it's not possible to get/set, GUID/UUID via Item Type Expressions. Post it as an Idea
YongAn Fu (Support Manager • Global Technical Support) has provided a sample VBA code for this requirement.
Sample Code, File:
communities.bentley.com/.../AssignUUID.mvba
communities.bentley.com/.../Elements.dgn
