plm integration for microstation

[vpapa]

Hi.
I am a cad\plm programmer and I am approaching the development of a v8i microstation integration.

I have already overcome all technical obstacles, my integration is setting up as a mdl plugin written in vb.net,
I would need more information and clarification from a methodological point of view.
I noticed that in microstation in the same file you can save 2d information that 3d, with a limit
physical in the number of possible views.
from a plm point of view, typically as you work with microstation, saved both information
2d that 3d in the same file ? or divide the table from 3d development into different files
How do you do with a parametric cad3d?

when using reference, you can either copy the source geometric in the target file or
leave the geometry in the source file?

Thank you.
Winner.

a dgn file can contain multiple models, which can be both 2d and 3d, the tables are other models (typically 2d , layout type ) which contain the score and then references to other models.
you consider working with a single 3d model that for most times is so (plus tables ), even if you work in 2d (the 2d drawings are a legacy of v7 , bentley recommends today to use 3d models, also considers that you often work directly in dwg and therefore becomes identical to autocad, model and paper space )
bentley still has its own technology, performance asset management, which I think replaces plm
