JJM Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 HI Guys, I've drawn a 3D model and exploded it to surfaces for a client using AutoCAD2010 and saved it as a .DNG file but when the client opens it using Microstation parts of the model have been removed, Its happens the other way round too. Has anyone been through this and found a fix? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envisioncad Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 JJM, what version of MicroStation is your client using. MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 2) should be able to open a 2010 or 2011 DWG file. If they are using an earlier version like XM or V8 2004 Edition try saving back your AutoCAD file to 2009 DWG. Is this straight AutoCAD file? no Architecture Revit MEP Structural etc HTH, Bob Mecham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJM Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi Bob, I think they are using Microstation V8i, I have saved the drawing as a 2007 version but still not. Any other ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envisioncad Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 JJM, have you used the Export to AutoCAD command to make sure all the proxy graphics are converted. I have a playlist of videos on Youtube converting ACAD to MS but it is civil related examples. You might pick something up from it http://www.youtube.com/user/envisioncad#g/c/225B253FAFCBEE1E HTH, Bob Mecham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
