Flags

Flags are useful for annotating a design with reminders or suggestions for future changes. A flag is a bitmapped image (raster element) with or without an associated explanatory message. Although the message text is not displayed with the image, you can easily review and edit the text in a separate window.

A set of flag image files is supplied with MicroStation in its image directory , which is located in by default C:\Bentley\Workspace\system\image.

The explanatory message associated with a flag is a tag element that is automatically attached to the raster element when the flag is placed. For more information about tag elements, see Tagging Elements.
