In MicroStation, attribute data is assigned to tags. Tags are associated with graphic cells. Together, these graphic cells form the model. You can access and view pipeline and component tag data using the Review Tags command.
Query pipeline attributes
You can query pipeline attributes only if a pipeline placeholder exists. The creation of pipeline placeholders is controlled by the Use pipeline placeholders setting on the Attributes tab. You must select this setting prior to model generation.
