Microstation vba would require a license to MicroStation wouldn't it?
Just as ArcObjects requires a license from ESRI. I am trying to get
this done with an fme license only.
I don't think workbench is going to be very effective at working on
180,000 drawings. How would I even load those.
Doesn't fme have an envelope or bounding box for the whole drawing?
