Hello i received big size file ( not so big in fact i had my larger many times )
File is done in Autocad propably 2014 . And its very, very slow to open.
In Ms V8 is not so good but "ok", few minutes... but in Connect about 20 - 30 minutes.
I try save as dgn, make cleanup, compress but after - file is about 100 mb bigger than orginal dwg
Can someone check what is wrong with this geometry ( file is for download here ) for a week https://wetransfer.com/downloads/190bbb5ad8840203b6c2a5bdf086a89520170302070518/050a83cc78a10ab3875290eebdf58d4720170302070518/9dec05
I'll have to figure out the approval procedure of accessing wetransfer, but wondered if you are able to post it to the secure file area that has already been approved for us to use?
I can confirm that you are hitting the B-rep translation. I thought of importing SAT as an alternative since you do not edit DWG file, but that will not save you on time as it is still a Brep translation. We will look at this a bit more and see if we can find a better alternative. But for what you need now, saving as V8 DGN is probably your best bet. I'm not particularly surprised or concerned by the file size increase from 300mb to 400mb. This is mainly because Autodesk ShapeManager and Parasolid are two different modelers after all. While they both model B-reps, they have different file formats, resulting in different file sizes. However, after you saved DWG as DGN, you should be able to reference your file like you would in V8i. Should you need to edit solids in the future, you may find that Parasolid is more reliable.

Parasolid a Brep modeler that is used by 3D modeling products. An easy way to tell is SmartSolid (or SmartSurface) - it is an element that contains Brep topology and geometry, and is handled by a Brep modeler. Whenever you make a change to such an element, it is the Brep modeler that does the most work behind the scene.
Don - is not possible to bring back this how v8 open the dwg files ? Btw i'm not sure is this good topic but with my files i see other problem with CONNECT I mean that saved views save only part of view - when i update / refresh view - most of geometry disappears , docked windows like camera settings after few times also disappears or are blank....
Maybe there are many bugs in CONNECT 46 ?
We will have to look into that (weighing trade offs). You may have a better chance to get your other questions answered in a targeted forum.
