    Cannot Copy/Paste Block from DWG to DGN

    Applies To
    Product(s): MicroStation
    Version(s): V8i, V8i (SELECTseries)
    Environment: N\A
    Area: DWG
    Subarea: General
    Original Author: Conor King, Bentley Technical Support Group

     

    Problem Description

    When trying to Copy and Paste an AutoCAD Block (cell) from a DWG/DXF file using the commands CTRL+C and CTRL+V or Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste,

    the Block will not paste into the DGN. With two sessions open;

    • In the DWG, the Block is selected, then copied (Edit > Copy)
    • Moving the mouse into the DGN file, select Edit > Paste
    • The Block can be seen on the end of the mouse cursor
    • When clicking to accept the Paste command, the Block disappears and does not paste into the DGN

    Steps to Resolve

    1. The Block may contain 3D attributes although it looks 2D, as by default DWG files are 3D
    2. Check the type of Model in the DGN file when pasting
    3. When creating a Model in a DGN file, there is an option to select if the Model will be 2D or 3D for both Design Model and Sheet Model, see images below..
    4. If a 3D Design Model or 3D Sheet Model, the Block can be sucessfully pasted
