Sample Batch Files to Export Geometry to LandXML via Key-in

This enhancement allows users to run a batch file that creates a selection set of their geometry and then exports the contents of that selection set to LandXML.

This batch file can be run in conjunction with the Batch Process tool to apply the commands across multiple DGN files.
The Selection Set can be created via standard MicroStation commands or through the use of OpenRoads Graphical Filters (see sample below).
An XML file will be created for each individual DGN.
Naming convention for the XML file is <Prefix><DGN_FileName>.xml.
If multiple alignments are found in a single DGN, all geometry in that DGN will be exported to a single XML.

Selection Set Creation

MicroStation Commands can be used (e.g. Powerselector All)- POWERSELECTOR ALL.

Note: References will be picked up by whether you use MS Commands or Graphical filters. You can turn them off (if desired) with the following command.

REFERENCE DISPLAY OFF ALL
ORD Graphical Filters
Mandatory Parameters Filter=<FilterName>
Geometry Select Byfilter Filter=SecondaryAlignments

File Creation

An XML file will be created for each DGN file
Any and all selected geometry will be exported to the single XML file created for that DGN file.
The file will be named <Prefix><DGN Name>.xml
