Hi all
I got an unexpected bug? problem within connect version 13 (Latest update) regarding what I guess has to do with RASTER Attachment and of Itiff raster format vs. Microstation SS10 (PRE SS10 also).
I don´t know if somebody else has Itiff raster files (Itiff=Benntley raster format that (was) really best raster format to use within Microstation) but I use/used Itiff as standard raster format but then used PRE connect versions because that format was the best and fastest raster file format I tested!
But that was in SS V8i edition .... versions. Now in Connect I was surprised that Bentleys own raster format doesn't´t work in Connect as in SS versions.
I could be totally wrong in my comment but I hope that someone has some solution to tell me an workaround for connect usage with Itiff raster files:
Ok: here is how SS10 (SS series) do handle the Itiff raster reference with active vector or reference vector information, Normal function when attach raster reference is that raster reference is background information:
Here is the same information in Connect edition, and totally no chance to use any settings in Connect to get Itiff raster to be Background information!
The only way to see the Vector information is to set the raster level transparency ( this is No solution) to see the vector data above connect Itiff raster attachment.
The same scenario with different raster file format (JPG) in Connection does exactly as I wanted to, raster as background and vector on top as rastermanager settings are set:
So I don´t know if my comment are just a problem with my Itiff or is there some settings that I don´t know about to resolve this problem!
Best Regards
Tom
what would happen if you created a separate ref file to hold the raster and if that file was 2d only then you could ref attach this dgn behind or under your vector data files..

Update on this thread:When I started my computer and opened test file that I had regarding the iTiff issue today..surprise.. surprise every thing worked as it should with the iTiff raster files!!
It seems that in open session of windows 10 and the batch convert (raster manager) function and Connect U13 has some issues with this workflow. I didn't´t had the time to investigate further today but if someone else have time to do further investigation or had the same issue as me so be happy to response to this thread.RegardsTom
Hi Lorys
I was thinking to test your suggestion but... read my update to this thread.Thanx anyway!//Tom
(related) I've had a few bugs show up with raster referencing. It will not print after a compress, in fact if you ever compress your file, be sure to close and re-open your CAD file. Connect in general is poor, buggy software. They're counting on us to inform them of all the various things wrong, so if you find a reproducible, easily documented issue, please file a Service Ticket. Just don't expect any positive results.

Hi Bob
I am trying to find a reproducible explanation for this before doing an SR but before I fully know if this is just a mistake how I use Connect's new version or if this is a bug in the Connect version I need your help if you happen to find the same problems like me. I can't just create an SR and Bentley can't reproduce the same bug I discovered or I have to find the time to reproduce the bug that no one else has problems with, better if many others have the same problem and the SR gets prioritized by Bentley.
