From Learning MicroStation VBA
The Standards Checker helps keep our files in line with established standards. Using this functionality as it is installed with MicroStation can do a fairly good job performing basic standards checking add the power and flexibility of VBA and nothing can hold us down.
First, you should note that unhandled errors that occur in your standards checker routines can cause severe errors. Some may even shut down MicroStation completely. So, you need to take care when working with standards checker code. Make sure to save your VBA Projects often and verify that any DGN files open in MicroStation are also saved.
Basics of Implementing the Standards Checker
Implement the Standards Checker by using the IStandardsChecker Interface. As with other interfaces we have implemented, use a class module and write your code within events.
