Hello,
Suddenly i can no longer reference in "r13" dwg's or even saveas to a dwg , it appears to have only affect me,
we are running v8i, 08.11.09.919 as well as Connect and ORD, i assume some dwgviewer has been corrupted
Karl, I would like to get a bit more information.
1. Are other users able to open that same file in V8i ? double check this.
2. Working on the DWG in Connect may have changed the version of DWG that the file is - looking at your DWG versions selected in Connect is newer than what what V8i supports.
My guess is that you worked on the file in Connect and when you saved it, the DWG option was set to a newer version and now V8i cannot recognize this newer version of the DWG. I think V8i can only open files up to 2016....
As a work around, open the file in Connect, go to the DWG save options and for DWG version, select the 2013 - 2017 option and do a save. Then try to open that file in V8i.

In v8i i cant saveas to dwg or reference in any dwg (r13) , Connect works file, all other users have no issues. we are not opening any older v8i project in Connect,
just tried to do a "repair" on RealDWG 2016. that didint fix it, also did a re-install of Microstation v8i , didnt fix it
if it is just you, then look at the DWG Data folder under your user prefs.
Try moving all the files under this folder to some temp location (of course make sure you do not have MicroStation open when doing this). Once the folder is empty, open MicroStation and try saving to DWG. Reinstalls, etc... don't generally wipe out the prefs folders and files.

This article explains which versions of DWG can be opened by which version of MicroStation, and it tells you how to check the DWG version.

Hi Karl,
Could you please review if the message center provide any additional information? How to find Message Center
Also please provide a screen shot with the setting used when doing save as DWG\DXF option and check if other colleagues are using the same settings.
