ORD Export - Linear Features Problem

Works well...seems that gaps don't join once you export to non-Civil CAD line strings using Fence to File or Merge to Master processes. I wonder what process was being referred to in Update 3's Help file?

yep, that's the one - but its not a real fix. If it is ticked, DWG exports opened in the Microstation environment don't have gaps joined. I checked in AutoCAD and the same DWG had the gap issue.

I can confirm the previous Merge to Master process now works without needing to drop anymore. Create a new DGN, reference in the model you want and turn levels you don't want off. Merging will give you a DGN without gaps and exports fine to DWG in MS and AutoCAD. They fixed something to do with string gaps, but not sure what?

I can only find one "Save Application Data" setting.

Turn off all levels of everything except what you want to export. Put a fence around the graphics (make sure the fence method is set to inside). Key in "fence file". The program will ask you where you want to save the new file to (don;t forget to data point in the screen after to accept the fence file command.

This will work both in 2d and 3d files. You can then save the created file as dwg.

I think you need to have the two "Save application data" settings ticked in dwg export settings. A quick test of dgn SEEMED to be ok?

The release notes for ORD Update 3 seem to indicate this problem has been resolved. But it's still happening!!!!!

Hi Simon.

Any joy? Seems I cant find any way to get my 2d or 3d model to successfully export to dgn, dwg or dxf. Do you know if this will be resolved in update 3?

Not had any luck yet, but i'll give your approach a try.

Any luck with this?

The only way I can get a Native export out is to create a new blank dgn, reference in the Default-3d model, merge to master (to remove civil data). Then select all complex chains and drop complex (only).

A bit messy, but it works. You can then export this to dwg, etc.

The next issue I have is GENIO exports joining up all gaps as well.

Hmm, I'm seeing something similar. Let me look in to this in more detail.
