Line are desapearing from my dgn file

Hi to the community,

Here's what is going on:

Im using microstation V8i and I also use powerdraft. From time to time, after saving a file and re-open it, some lines desapear and are no where to be found. Even by selecting everything in my drawing.

Every line comes from a merged reference to the master file.

As an example, on day 1 I merged de files, total object in the selection in around 40k elements. Next day, i re-open the files and the selection say around 30k objects. There is a lot of stuff missing.

Is there a quick way to fix that?

Best regards.

  • ok Sabastien  open the active file  , go to the ref  manager turn on the ref can you see the missing line work? 

    use the ref manager to exchange to the ref file

    now can you see the line work?

    is the level turned of or frozen?

    are these custom linestyles from a dgn lib somewhere  that you dont have access to ie the  inroads only has it on his machine?

    are they using annotation scale or global for line styles look in model properties?

    what is the scale of the custom lines look under properties of the  line? I had a drg that wrong scale was set  so high I had to zoom out several km to see the line between the gaps....

    With out a clip of both the ref and and active its really very difficult to help you....  its just academic pot shots really ...
