Unable to find model

We are having trouble with a file which we cannot bring from backup. We are using SS10.

When trying to open the file, we get the information box stating "Unable to open design file.  "Please contact your local site administrator or technical support provider for further assistance."

When trying to reference the file in a different file, we get "Unable to find model "(null)" in Control.dgn".  (Control.dgn is our file name)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • When trying to reference the file in a different file, we get "Unable to find model "(null)" in Control.dgn"

    Does this happen after you select the file in reference manager and then try to attach or as soon as you try to select the file in Windows Explorer dialog? Does it at least load it into the reference attachment dialog? If you are able to select the file & it loads into the reference attachment dialog there is a model drop-down. Are you able to switch that and load the file with a different model selected as a reference?
