Hi Jon,
I am using Microstation V8i(Selectseries 3) 08.11.09.608. Windows 8.1 Enterprise, 64 bit operating system..
I use Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
I suppose my application should be in-Process: I need to plot some 3D elements based on data structures coded in Python mainly for result verification. I am very familiar with MicrostationVBA, but I would like to avoid running code through VBA (some classes stored on shelve), and instead add plot method to Python class.
My code was just trial based on example from: 
I would be very happy if I could access ActiveMicrostationDGN Application and ActiveDGNfile and use VBA API commands from Python
