Try this;

1. Open the DWG in CE

2. Keyin CONVERT ACISTOPARASOLID ALL

3. Save as DGN

4. Open DGN in v8i

No, it is (Element) Properties dialog, not Element information one. It is displayed when you use "analyze element" key-in I explicitly asked for (this old dialog provides more internal information like element type number etc).

But these ones help a bit too, as they show the difference between element types.

What "analyze element" tells about the selected element? (both in CE and V8i)

Hi Colin,

I agree with David Trejo-Rodriguez to share the file is important for analysis.

The problem is you share no details, so it is impossible to say whether it is feature or it can be solved e.g. using different configuration or post-import modification of the solids in CE. It would help to share at least screen captures how elements are represented in CE and V8i, both visually and in Element information dialog (key-in "analyze element"), because standard Properties dialog hides some internal details.

With regards,

Jan

Can you share the file for review?

CONNECT does have some type of elements that are not supported in V8i but they should show as extended or application elements.
