Question:
Large shapes and long random lines are appearing on my title sheet. Is my DGN file corrupted
or is there an explanation for this condition?
Answer:
The "garbage" graphic elements are a direct result of copying and scaling down the GIS
county maps (DGN) for your title sheet vicinity map. While scaling down the element size,
the actual linestyle scale is not affected. These elements are indeed still at their original
custom linestyle scale of 30000.
To change the linestyle scale of a Microstation element, select the element and key-in
"change linestyle scale 1". This will change the linestyle scale from 30000 to 1. We now
can see that some of these lines are part of the original GIS map.
