[InRoads v8i]Powerdraft and InRoads data

InRoads v8i works fine with Microstation files. It often happens I need to
edit these files to prepare final drawings (printouts) eg. add some
dimensions, details descriptions and so on.
I would like to use PowerDraft for that kind of job to be done.
Since Inroads is not certiefied for Powerdrat, I am afraid to lose Inroads
data by editing dgn files with PowerDraft.
I had this case that Inroads was blind for Profiles, X-sections which had
been created prior to editing dgn file with PowerDraft. Was it an accident
or a rule?
Is it safe to edit file with Powerdraft and than work with Mstn+Inroads on
it again?

Thanks in advance.

  • Adam,

    When editing InRoads generated graphics, you must be aware that certain graphics contain "user data" that adds intelligence to those objects. In other instances, we add graphics such as in the case of profiles and cross sections. These are text nodes that tell InRoads what the graphics are and define the data required to make them intelligent.

    As a general rule you should be ok editing InRoads data. If you copy or delete or modify the graphics that compromise this data you could cause some issues.
