promis.e catalog conversion (MS to ACAD)

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.

    I'm understanding where you guys are at, I have a tight schedule for delivery of our catalogue in dwg format for a new project,  I am requiring a suitable solution asap and would love any feedback and recommendations for conversion.  I have been following the same procedure as you Daniel and Murph for conversion and getting the same results you have.

     Looking forward to solutions asap!
