    Problem

    Import saved views only showing "type".
    The "Import Saved Views" dialog is only showing "Type" column. The
    "Name" and "Description" are missing.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to Saved Views dialog (Utilities > Saved Views").
    2. Click "Import Saved Views"
    3. Select a file containing saved view.

    Notice on "Import Saved Views", the only visible column is "Type".

    Product: MicroStation V8i
    Version: 08.11.05.17
    Area: General, PROBLEMSOLVING

    Solution

    Delete User Preference File.

    This is most likely caused by using a UPF (User Preference File) from a
    previous version of MicroStation.
    Remove this UPF and let MicroStation create a view

    Steps:
    1. Locate the UPF file (Workspace > About Workspace > Path under
    "Preferences:")
    2. Close MicroStation
    3. Go to location of UPF.
    4. Delete (user).upf
    5. Restart MicroStation

    Note: It is NOT recommended to use a UPF from a previous version of
    MicroStation.
