I am trying to determine the minimum requirements for a DXF file that can be opened by Microstation.
I have some very simple DXF samples from the internet that I can view in freeware viewers. When I try to open with Microstation it says Unable to open design file. If I save a Microstation DGN with a single line in it to DXF format, I get a DXF file with 32,000 lines. Does anyone have a very simple DXF that Microstation will open I could use as a starting point or some advice on what Microstation requires in a DXF?
TIA,
Tim
Hi tshoemaker,
I agree with Jan and ask, Can you provide both your MicroStation Version and DXF Version ($ACADVER)?
Both version details can be critical towards understanding your ability to open a DXF (text) file.
If you are able to share a sample .DXF others on the community may also help verify if there is a problem opening it.
