CADWorx Object Enabler

I am unable to see the full piping createdin CADWorx 2015 in a dwg file referenced in MicroStation Connect even after reloading the Object Enabler.

    I'm not quite sure what you meant by reloading the object enabler, but I will assume that you had a CADWorx object enabler 2016 x64, you had tried to install it on your box, and the installation appeared to have gone through without any error. If my assumption is correct, you might have an AutoCAD 2016 based product on your box and CADWorx simply installed it on that product but not on MicroStation CONNECT. Ideally, CADWorx installer should look for all RealDWG hosts, not just AutoCAD, and add required registries for all hosts. I realize that may not be possible in a timely manner. If you are adventurous enough and you know how to edit your computer's registries, you can try finding the CADWorx key in your registry. It is probably somewhere under \Autodesk\ObjecDBX\. After you find the key, copy it to the correspondent location under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ObjectDBX\. If done correctly, it will tell CONNECT to load your OE. However, changing computer registry is not something I'd recommend to everyone - it can potentially mess things up and damage your system if you do not know what you are doing. So be extra careful with doing that.

    Don,
    I had the Object enabler loaded previous to loading MicroStation Connect. The piping showed up in v8i, but not in Connect. I unloaded the OE and reloaded it. Piping still shows up in V8i, but not in Connect. Some OEs, when loading, list different applications to apply the OE to, CADWorx does not it simply installs and done.

    If you had previously loaded a CADWorx 2014 x32 into V8i, it only works on V8i. It should not have any impact on CONNECT. For CONNECT, you will need CADWorx 2016 x64, because CONNECT is a 64-bit programs and it uses RealDWG 2016. If the old OE used to install and work smoothly for you I would expect the new version to do the same if not better. Have you downloaded and tried 2016 x64 yet?

    Don,
    There is not a CADWorx 2016 OE. The 2015 loads 32 & 64 bit. I do not show that RealDWG 2016 was loaded with Connect, the latest I have loaded is ReawDWG 2014.

    RealDWG 2014 is the latest I see on Bentley's website.

    I did a quick google search and this is what I have found:

    http://support.ecedesign.com/support/solutions/articles/6000018048-cadworx-2016-release-date

    Not much helpful, but perhaps hopeful - maybe wait for a month or two?
