[ORD 2021 R1] Downgrade Civil Model?

Hi Mary,

I tried this out earlier, if you are in the ProjectWise environment it is integrated inside it. Otherwise, works as normal.

Hi Mark,

I was looking to use the Civil File Manager to upgrade my dgnlib's to ORD 2021 R1.  When i try to run it, i get that the Type initializer for 'Bentley CifNET ProjectWise PWWrapper' threw an exception.

We do not use Projectwise.  Have you tried to use the new 10.10 version of the manager?

C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE 10.10\OpenRoadsDesigner\CivilFileManager.exe

Will i have to open each file rather than using the Folder + sub Folders options to upgrade multiple files?

Thanks.... i thought this went along with the content of this post.  if not i can post it elsewhere.

I'll see what a Bentley person has to say, but it looks like it tries to open a ProjectWise datasource, but can be cancelled for local file access. I'm betting it may not have been tested on a system that doesn't have ProjectWise installed.

Another option may be to set the CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF = 1 variable in your workspace and use the batch processor to simply open all the files. That seems like it would work well...

Thanks for the response and the Batch idea!

Yes I got same when you run it from inside the software. If you go C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE 10.10\OpenRoadsDesigner and then double click on "CivilFileManager.exe". It then runs fine. You can then dismiss the projectwise  interface if that is not required. I am currently running it to update our workspace to the latest version.

i do not know how to run it "inside the Software".  i only run it by double clicking on the CivilFileManager.exe.  It opens.... but when I use the   File > Open  > and then select any entry.... File, Folder or Folder + Sub Folders.... it comes back with...  Unhandled Exception

Thank you for your response.  i will report it as a Bug.  i Followed Mark's advice and updated all dgn and dgnlib files by running a batch process.
