Prerequisites
1. MicroStation V8 version 8.1 or later.
2. RuleManager must be installed on your computer. You can verify this by selecting
the Axiom menu from MicroStations main menu bar, then select RuleManager. If
RuleManager does not appear in the Axiom menu, follow the instructions in the
Installation chapter of your User Guide.
3. You will need some design files to practice with. The sample files that are delivered
with RuleManager are used in this quick start.
4. You can run RuleManager with any production file.
Demonstration Version
Demonstration versions of RuleManager expires after 30 days.
Licensed versions of RuleManager do not have this restriction.
The Basics
This Quick Start will briefly introduce:
4. From the drop down menu in the Action field, we will use the default, Automatic
design file analysis and rule generation as seen in the image above.
5. The active design file name, rulemgr3.dgn, will already be selected in the Design
File(s): field.
6. The program will suggest a Rules File name. In this case we will use the suggested
rulemgr3.rul name. To use a different name or location, click the {Select} button
and specify a name for the rules file to be created. Remember the name well need
it to view the file contents later.
7. Select Rule Generation Options from the Options pull down menu at the top of
the dialog box.
Additional examples
Additional rules file examples are provided in the folder:
...\axiom\v8\checker\sample\
3. From the Action drop down menu choose {Automatic DGN library analysis and
rule generation} as seen in the image above.
4. The active DGN library name, civil.dgnlib, will already be selected in the Design
File(s): field.
There are 4 separate sections for creating rules using DGN libraries. All 4 sections
are turned on by default. Click the {Restore Defaults} button to set the defaults.
The displayed Rejection message: for each section is the default, user-definable
message that will be used for all rejections pertaining to that section of rules. The
symbols like %TY, %LV and %Level_Color are called message variables.
When an element is rejected by a rule using them, these variables will display
specific information like the element type number (%TY), the elements level
number (%LV) and the byLevel color of a level table entry (%Level_Color). You can
retype these messages to suit your needs. There are more than 100 message variables
you can use all described later in this document.
Other fields on this dialog box represent element or level table characteristics that are
important to your Quality Control process. By turning them on and off or making
different selections you can control which element or level table properties the
generated rules file will check.
11. You can use the Rule Wizard dialog and controls to change, add, or delete rules
but were using it for display only in this step. Press {Close}. See the section titled
Rule Wizard for more information.
12. You can now use the rules file just created with SpecChecker or SpecMonitor.
Note: The above steps are intended to quickly show you how rules can be generated
automatically with RuleManager. The remainder of this RuleManager System
Administrators Guide explains rules and other features of the Rule Wizard in detail.
