    Issue with the display of Proxy elements that are generated by AutoDesk Mechanical 2000.

    Problem

    Issue with the display of Proxy elements that are generated by AutoDesk Mechanical 2000.

    If the file was created in AutoDesk's Add-on package, Mechanical 2000 standard AutoCad will not even allow for editing without this add-on package. AutoCad will display the element "like MicroStation" with a boundary box around the elements. If this file needs to be used by straight AutoCad the file should be Exported from Mechanical 2000 to a plan AutoCad format. This will remove the Proxy data from the file & replace them with "normal" AutoCad elements.

    Solution

    If the file needs to be manipulated in MicroStation the element should be selected & Unlocked by going to Edit> Unlock. Then select the element again & then Drop the Cell data to regular elements.
