Hi all,
I have some 3d linestyles that include mesh components that don't seem to display at all in ORD - they work fine in SS4 and Microstation Connect (update 4). Other 3d linestyles that just include shapes/lines etc. come in okay. They have always been stored in RSC files, but I have even tried putting them in a dgnlib with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have attached a resource file with the linestyles in question.
I need to use meshes for the components of the 3d linestyle for Navisworks (or any Autodesk) solid compatibility, ie. drop the linestyle and export otherwise I get thousands of shapes and lines, etc.

ok I seem to have found the issue... It seems that placing the rsc in the \WorkSpaces\xxxx\Standards\Symb in ORD adds the linestyles to the linestyle list but results in them not being displayed correctly (eg. solid line in 2d, invisible in 3d). If I put the rsc file in \Organization\Symb then it works perfectly. The workspaces symb location has been defined in the cfg (MS_SYMBRSRC) and seeing as it is being added to the linestyle list and previews correctly in the editor I don't understand why this isn't working. I have tried putting the rsc in the workspaces location for Microstation Connect and it works fine.

Great investigation but wouldn't it be better to open a TR Ticket to get that solved in a future release?

Thanks Frank, Yep good point, will do but isn't the whole point of the communities site to ask the question before resorting to putting a ticket in.
Doesn't this forum give everyone a heads up to potential issues they may get doing certain things?
