The MicroStation/J macro control file, dwgcontrol.bas, should be compiled after editing.
-
On the Utilities > Macro window, choose Browse
-
Select dwgcontrol.bas.
-
Running the macro constitutes compilation.
It is possible that an error message will appear when the macro is run. In this case, the necessary DXF/DGN translators are not yet available to MicroStation. To make them available, it is necessary to use the import function on any DXF file:
-
On the file/import menu, choose DWG or DXF and load any DXF file.
-
Now, repeat the Utilities > Macro actions above, and exit MicroStation.
-
On restart using the DXF option, the font translation will be active and a true rendition of text should be seen.
