Microstation Connect V10.16.02.34
I'm familiar with Excel VBA and taking a stab at writing VBA for the first time in Microstation to populate a chart/table. (I know CE has a 'Place Table' tool but it doesn't have the functionality to do what I need) My code works great for drawing the table but when I try to place the array of text strings from a text file at known coordinates, the text placement is not what I expect. The text strings should be placed center/center justified at the center of each table 'box' based on the known coordinates. I've set my text style to center/center justification and also tried coding 'ActiveSettings.TextStyle.Justification = msdTextJustificationCenterCenter' before placing the text and neither process work.
I'm using the following code to place the text:
Set BodyText = CreateTextElement1(Nothing, DataArray(i, j), BTextPt, rotMatrix) ActiveModelReference.AddElement BodyText
In the code above, the text string is DataArray(i, j) from my text file and the center of each box is the x-y coordinates of BTextPt.
Example of how the text is placed with both methods:
The properties of the text string show a center/center justification which I verified by drawing a red circle at its origin.
I found this thread from 2015 stating something similar but was unable to find a solution: [Conncect vba] Problem with place text
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug/defect still in Microstation? Can someone provide a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance.
