Hi,
I have a problem with opening DXF files (city infrastructure map, water supply/sewage network) in Bentley View V8i. On one computer - and only there, all others workstations open the map correctly - after opening the DXF the map looks like below picture (correct version can be seen on next picture). Maybe it is a graphic driver problem?

Unknown said:The updated Graphics Driver is what causes the problem
This issue has been debated many times in this Forum.
NVidia driver software is unreliable. There's no way to tell which drivers work with MicroStation without trying them. Sometimes the latest driver doesn't work and it's necessary to drop back to the previous good driver.
I agree that it's a pain. But the pain is introduced by NVidia, not MicroStation. It just happens that MicroStation enables the problem to be seen.
You might take note that, as far as I know, AMD Radeon graphic cards don't have that problem. Or, should I say, no-one who uses Radeon graphics has reported a similar problem on this Forum.

That's a work-around, not a resolution. When that variable is set it tells your graphics card to revert to an earlier version of Microsoft DirectX. The real solution is to update the graphics card driver software as José suggests.
