DGN and DWG repair tools

I would like to see a better repair tool and interface.  The current VRG tool is limited and offers the user no control or assistance in understanding any issues with the files.

Reason

If we had a dialog similar to that of Axioms file fixers, it would be a massive benefit.  Plus offer the users even better control over DWG files 

Thank you

  • Enhancement # 785410 has previously been raised to "Add Verifydgn in CONNECT edition or produce a similar tool". Anyone that is interested in monitoring this should create a Service Request which can be linked to it.

  • why would anyone that uses MS press the down vote for this important tool...........................

  • As a side note to this....  I am seeing a lot of DGN files that fail to convert to DWG.  Normally, it is a faulty pattern or hatch. i.e. a pattern that was placed as a grouped Hole.  If we had a tool that could analyse the data, when a file fails to do something, our usage of Bentley  software will become some much better.. CAD manager would jump with joy.

  • couldn't agree more  1000%  way overdue, currently only  axiom tools has a file repair tool that actually does fix a lot of problems but they are still very expensive .. I know that Bentley have  some in house analytical tools to help with  investigating what  wrong  with a file .. but  its way past due date for an effective delivered user tool

  • We need something better than Verifydgn & FixRange. I like Ian's idea for a tool with an options dialog.
