ManagedAutoTagElementExample demonstrates three MicroStation concepts.

• Item Types: Creating item types and attaching them to elements.
• Reports : Generating Reports from item types.
• Text Table: Generating Text Table from a report.

This example is organized as follows:

• When this example is loaded in MicroStation the next thing to do is to create the item types.
• When item types are created, they can then be attached to any element. All item types can be attached in one go.
• After this a report can be generated using the above information. The report is based on all of the above item types and properties.
• The fourth step is to place the above report in tabular form. A text table element is created that is populated with data from the report.
