DWG in CONNECT edition

We have known two things that can impact DWG open performance:
1) Lots of solids/surfaces in DWG file - ACIS kernel is no longer available in CONNECT hence additional time required to translate ACIS bodies to Parasolid.
2) Lots of attributes that are out of sync in file - by default CONNECT converts DWG attributes as item types which require well defined attribute definitions vs attributes. Among other things, an attribute that does not have a definition, or a definition that does not have an attribute instance, is considered out of sync which impacts file open performance. In this case, turning on toggle "Block Attributes as Tags" shall make a difference. Obviously you will not have item types after file opened. But you still can manually convert tags as item types after file open.

I have tried to toggle "Block Attributes as Tags" but I did not see any difference. I have a large dwg file (50mb) and it took 30sec to reference that file in Microstation v8i SS4 and in Microstation CONNECT it took over 15 minutes.
There must be something wrong here, if this is the case then CONNECT will be useless for someone working with a lot of references for example dwg and IFC.

Hello Don
any news with dwg slow open problems ? Me the same...

If you know this " ACIS kernel is no longer available in CONNECT hence additional time required to translate ACIS bodies to Parasolid." why there is not available ?

Prior to CONNECT, when you edited an ACIS solid element, it gets translated to Parasolid before it can be edited. CONNECT has simply shifted the translation from editing to file opening. The net timing cost of the B-rep translation for the same element has not changed, but that has freed editing tools from overhead added from the on-fly translation.

Do you know your case really is from ACIS translation? If you can share your file we can take a look.

Dear Don
the problem is that i received the file maded in Autocad ( as i remember 2014 )
and i don't want to edit it - i just try to open it as reference or just open.

Old Microstation v8i open it fast but elements are in wrong positions etc... CONNECT open it correctly in place
but it takes many minutes

I send the file in this tread communities.bentley.com/.../132418
