promis.e catalog conversion (MS to ACAD)
daniel.morris74
over 13 years ago
I dont know if anyone else has noticed this yet, and I'm not even sure when this became an issue (In what release), but have you tried to export a promis.e Microstation Catalog for ACAD, then restore it into promis.e ACAD? I have encountered a very interesting show stopper. Everything looks fine until I try to either use a symbol, where you encounter a DB error and the symbol doesnt insert, or you try to modify a symbol in the symbol creation wizard. Most of the symbols in the creation wizard preview with abnormally large connection points, and when the symbol opens, A DB error is thrown, and the symbol contains no Connection point text. Every step you try to go to in the wizard then re-opens the symbol in CAD. The connection points exist in the Connection point step, but there is nothing in the connection point editor. I am sure there is more to this but I wont go on any more. This is a real issue for us as we deliver catalogs to clients in ACAD format, but create them in MS. I wanted to know if anyone else could test it out and see if they have the same issue or not. Also if there are already ST's in the system for this exact issue.

OK good to see I am not the only one. Anyone else please let us know if you have found a work around, or a resolution to this. It is going to become a VERY big problem for us within a few weeks. The worst thing about this is that I have already delivered one catalogue to a client without testing it, and now I see that was a fairly big error on my part. The problem is that I am sure this used to work. Well in fact I know it did as I used to do it when I was with Bentley. I echo Chris' plea for help ASAP from Bentley with this one.

Just an update to this one. The conversion from MS to ACAD has in fact never worked. It is the Conversion from ACAD to MS that works fine, and what I used to use. Just so that I dont confuse the issue..:-)
