We upgrade from microstation SelecSeries to CONNECT Edition and it not works - in window is displayed just artefacts over, real image. Doesn't matter if it's wireframe, hidden od shade mode. I send Technical data - 358249600 We have subscriptions for couple of Macs - but cant create directly support request. Version 16.1.2 (49151) / Pro edition. The latest generation of MicroStation-based platform products are called the Connect Edition, taking over from the previous generation V8i. Bentley has dabbled with Microsoft naming conventions (95) to straight versioning over the years, this represents a break from all previous branding.

This article describes how to work with a MicroStation DGN file in AutoCAD. There are two options to use a DGN file in AutoCAD. Note: DGN functionality is not available within AutoCAD for Mac products. Importing a DGN file Open a DWG file. Enter DGNIMPORT at the command line or go to the application menu Import DGN. Navigate to and select the DGN file. Note: This will convert the DGN. MicroStation provides CAD capabilities and the power and versatility to precisely view, model, document, and visualize information-rich designs of all types and scales, for professionals working in every discipline on infrastructure projects of every conceivable type.

One of the many changes in the MicroStation CONNECT Workspace is that the former Project setting has been replaced by WorkSet. This is more than just a simple name change as design files in MicroStation CONNECT edition are associated with a WorkSet.

There are different methods to migrate MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries) Projects to MicroStation CONNECT WorkSets. Whichever method is used, associating the design files to the new WorkSets will be part of the process.

This association can be done manually by setting the correct WorkSet in MicroStation then opening each and every design file that belongs to that WorkSet. As each design file is opened you will be presented with the following dialog.

Simply take the default option to add the design file to the active WorkSet and click Open.

Connect

This can get tedious and time consuming very quickly. Fortunately, there is a new MicroStation key-in to help automate this process:

FILE ASSOCIATEWORKSET

This key-in command will associate the active design file with the active WorkSet.

Create a Batch Process command file using this key-in and the FILEDESIGN key-in

Microstation Connect Mac App

Once you’ve created this simple command file it can be used in Batch Process to automate the process of adding design files to your new WorkSets.

Note: When the non-associated design files are opened using Batch Process the Alert dialog is not displayed.
