    Error opening DGN from ProjectWise

      Product(s): ProjectWise Explorer Client
      Version(s): 08.11.11.559
      Area:  Integration - MicroStation
      Subarea:  Open / Close / Save As
      Original Author: Molly Watts, Bentley Technical Support Group

    Error or Warning Message

    The procedure entry point GetAttributeName...could not be located in the dynamic link library idattm.dll

    Followed by this error in MicroStation:

    "Error initializing ODMA"

    Explanation

    There are two different versions of ProjectWise installed (PW XM and PW v8i) and the version currently opened is not the "active" version of ProjectWise

    How to Avoid

    1. Run the Versionswitch command to change the active version

    ...\ProjectWise\bin\versionSwitch.vbs /811

    ...\ProjectWise\bin\versionSwitch.vbs /89
