Hi,
"Found 1 references with 2000 entries in the dictionary of layer names.The largest dictionary of layer names had 2135 entries in the file invent_2018.dgnPerformance can be slightly increased by compressing invent_2018.dgn and all reference files.From the File menu, choose 'Compression options' and check 'Include references' or enter 'COMPRESS DESIGN INCLUDEREFS'."
Hi Magdalena,
It indicates that the design file contains large number layer names which can affect the performance, it recommends compressing the design file to resolve this.
File menu, choose 'Compression options' and check 'Include references' or enter 'COMPRESS DESIGN INCLUDEREFS'.

Hi Komal,thank you, I have already done this operation ('COMPRESS DESIGN INCLUDEREFS' and 'Include references' ) but it did not help. I still get the same message.
I will check the posted forum threads.
I have run into this with files that started out as AutoCAD dwg files. I had to open each of the files individually and run the compress tool to fix the problem.

Hello RodWing, using "Batch Process" tool will be a good choice in this specific case.I hope that helps.
