I have experienced problems with dwg references in the CONNECT edition (all the connect applications, Microstation, openroads, AECOsim.)
The connect editions are very slow when attaching dwg-files and very often crash. Sometimes it can take several minutes longer time to attach a dwg in CONNECT compared to V8i.
Have someone else exporienced this?
Interesting problem.
1. Would it be possible for Mstn to save the parasolid data in the dwg after the first time the dwg is opened or referenced in Mstn? Sort of a Object Enabler for Mstn?
2. A multi-threaded batch converter to convert the dwg's to dwg's with parasolid info.
I am sure that the removal of ACIS from Mstn has good reasons behind it, but there should be some compensatory measures to offset the effects of this move.

Bentley has lost this battle already, look for statistics and counts about AutoDesk and Benltey user world wide! Or watch how much projects are DWG or autodesk based (Revit).

Agree, Update 10 have improvements but still a lot of problems with AEC objects from Autodesk stuf.
I know Bentley is working on it and I deliver a lot of date to test, but we need a better solution because Autodesk is used more and more but I don't want to change!

Hi Jan;
good idea. I will do that. We already created a service request about that issue as well.

Hi Stefan,
as Don H. Fu explained in his original answer, all ACIS solids from DWG have to be converted to Parasolid at background when DWG is opened. Because this thread is quite old, maybe you should create a new post about Update 10 specifically, so it will be more visible to Don and other Bentley people resposnible for DWG implementation.
With regards,
Jan
