ORD and IFC GUIDs

  1. When ORD exports to IFC, does it generate a GUID for each graphic element or component?
  2. When ORD imports from IFC, does it attach the IFC GUID to the equivalent DGN element or component?

Note that I'm discussing the GUID used in IFC, not MicroStation's element IDs.

If the updated IFC exporter stabilises the IFC GUID allocation, the implication suggests that the IFC GUID is stored in the DGN file in order to allow its persistence on subsequent export. If that is the case we have what we need to round-trip the IFC GUID between third-party apps. and ORD.  Can you confirm that to be the situation?
