Autodesk changed file format in AutoCAD R2010 DWG. As a result, RealDWG R2009-based products such as MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 1) are unable to open or create R2010 DWG files. MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 2) will support the new file format but it will not be commercially available for a while. Since we realize our users need to be able to open and create R2010 DWG files now (as is evident in various topics relating to that in Be Communities forums), we have released an update -- Bentley V8i (SELECTseries 1) - Autodesk® RealDWGTM 2010 -- to use now. This update is a shared program that extends MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 1)-based products to be able to open and create R2010 DWG files. More information regarding this update can be found in its release FAQ as well as this technical support FAQ.

This update is available for download from Bentley SELECTservices Downloads/MySELECT CD.

Hope you will find this update helpful on your DWG delivery.
