Let's start with the basics...
I'm running MS V8i (SELECTseries 1) - Descartes.
This is what is happening.
I have a raster image (cit) which I have edited (ie resized canvas through raster manager, erased certain pieces with Touch up:Erase, etc). The dgn was saved and imported into projectwise for the client.
The client has opened the dgn with the raster using MS XM & Descartes and is saying that the erase edits were not maintained. However other edits (resize canvas for example) were maintained. Why would he not see the erased areas of the cit?
Sorry I can't provide an example at this time.
Thanks,

Hi,
It is hard to figure out why some edits would be saved in the raster and others wouldn't. There are a few questions that come to mind. Did you make all the edits in the same MicroStation session? Was the raster checked in properly? When the raster is opened on the computer where it was edited, are all the edits visible? Is there a cache for that raster on the computer were it is not displayed properly?
Regards,
Pascal
Thanks for responding.
To answer your questions...
The edits to the raster were made in the same session on my computer. These edits are visible on my computer and the approving Engineers computer. My engineer opened these files once more before submitting to the client and he said the edits were there. He uses a vpn to access the clients projectwise and uploaded the dgn. (Mind you these are existing drawings we are making edits to so it should rev up upon import into ProjectWise) The client then opened the dgn from project wise on their computers and does not see the erase edits but does see the other edits. The client also said this is happening on several drawings.
I do no know if there is a cache on the clients computer....but if there were....would he be able to see other edits besides the erase edits?
I'm wondering if there is a confguration variable or setting that allows him to see edits to a raster? Crasping at straws here. The client has sent this to his MS guru's and is suppose to send me their file that is not right soon.
Thanks for your help.
You are right that it is not likely to be related to the cache files. If it was, then the client would see none of the edits.
The raster files do not have a history, once a modification is done, the raster file itself is modified.
Are there different versions of that raster on the PW datasource? Could it be possible that the PW set links the DGN to a wrong version of the raster file? Or that the client has a different version of the raster in his working directory?
I'm not a ProjectWise expert but it seems that something went wrong during the import to ProjectWise. Have you tried to import the file again? Was the .CIT file already in ProjectWise? What if you try to rename the .CIT file and add it to ProjectWise?
HTH,

I also have noticed strange behavior when editing rasters in projectwise.
projectwise select series 1 and 2 both have same behavior. we are using microstation and decartes select series 1.
what i have found is that if you don't edit the dgn file the raster changes don't get recognized by projectwise?
if you edit the dgn or simply do a save settings in microstation before you check the files back in then projectwise will recognize that the raster has changed and it uploads those changes to the server?
I just started a service ticket with Bentley and they are looking into it.
service ticket number is 8000841665.
