Pretty much as the title states.
After opening the dgn file with OBD (CE Update 6) and microstation (CE Update 13) to perform some printing operations, I closed and reopened it with OPM (CE update 7) to find the Pipelines in the dropdown selection area of the combobox in Standard Preferences for Piping Component toolbox were gone. I then checked the pipeline manager as well as the explorer and both reported the pipelines were actually still there. I tried to import the pipelines back to the model, but was told that the pipelines were already existed and nothing was imported. This seems like a bug to me, Is there a way to fix it? Screenshot attached below:
Let me expand the short forms and add missing steps to hope to find the issue1) Pipelines were modeled in OpenPlantModeler CONNECT U7
2) The dgn was then opened in OpenBuildingsDesigner CONNECT U6 and Microstation CONNECT U13 for printing. (Were there any explicit changes saved in the DGN?)
3) The dgn was again opened in OpenPlantModeler CONNECT U7 and now you cant see the pipelines in Standard Prefs?
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Since the pipelines are showing up in the Pipeline manager, the possible workaround would be to delete your preferences temp files from the following path.
Please change UserName to your machine user name and 10.0.0 to relevant path on your machine.
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler\10.0.0\prefs\
If this doesnt fix your issue, would you be able to share your DGN with us to test?
Thanks,
Hi Gaurav,
Your summary is accurate, and during the printing process, I did place a few callouts and serveral dimensional annotations before printing. There are some other details I think might be helpful:
1.The pipelines were not constructed in the default model, I created a new model to contain them in order to seperate the pipelines from other referenced structure elements.
2.I have an addin program installed with my Microstation, which provides some annotation functionalities.
3.I opened the file with different workspaces and worksets (specificall, Microstation:No workspace\No workset; OBD: Building_Examples\BuildingTemplate_CN; OPM: Workspace\OpenPlantMetric) and no modifications were made to the configuration files directly by myself.
I tried the solution of deleting the preference temp files but it didn't help, and unfortunately according to the policies of my company, I'm not allowed to share the dgn file since it contains sensitive data. I hope you can determine the problem with the current information, and I will try my best to provide more if possible.
Thank you!
