Unable to locate and open seed file for some DWG files

I can open some .dwg files but not all. I get the following error msg when i try to open them "Unable to locate and open seed file required to open this file. Check the MSTRASNSEED configuration variable."

Cat get it to work, and its frustrating. Im thinking about installing AutoCAD and hope that this might solve the problem. Non of the collegues at work have had a similar problem. But im the only one that have made a fresh installation of V8i and i did not have any previous versions of microstation on my computer.

  • Are you using the same workspace (i.e. configuration) for the files that are not opening as the ones that are? If not, then it might be worth debugging your configuration to see if the seed file being referenced exists and that you have access to it. Otherwise, could you provide one of the files that you are unable to open (attach it to a reply by clicking on the Options tab).
