Oh - having looked closer into our PR system, I don't believe there is any way to translate these hatch fills.
I see the following from a developer: "I don't think V8 supports reading of hatched shapes. I believe those things are stored as linkages and the only linkages V8 reader supports are the "database linkages"." Viewing files in Microstation I can see the hatch pattern is stored as an Attribute of the shape and there is nothing that the reader returns which indicates this. Also because we use the Microstation API to do the reading we are reliant on their reader to do this. So I don't know that there is much we can do in this case. If there is any help we can provide for a workaround please let me know.

Then we integrate these datas into our GIS dedicated to network solutions (electical, gaz, ...). So if we get nice Microstation file with buildings drawn with patterning and if we only get empty shapes into our GIS, it will seem to be a poor integration tool for our customers ! Our aim is to use FME to convert input datas and get them very similar into our GIS. > So, it is very important for us to get these patterning informations. > > Best regards > > Sylvain Caillet > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: mark2atsafe > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 7:32 PM > Subject: [fme] Re: DGN V8 - patterning information about shapes > > > Hi Sylvain, > As far as I know we don't supply this information and have no plans to > support it.
