Open roads forum4/30/2023 The other thing about the drawing format issue is bothersome. This time, no matter what export option I used - 2D dgn, v8 dgn, dwg - I couldn't even open the 2D or v8 formats without getting error messages. I though I had been able to cobble something workable by export ORD to, I think, a dwg, and then making a new SS2 file so they had something to work with. They have yet to implement OSD as they are continuing to work existing projects with Power Survey SS2 (which both offices still use). For the current situation, a file I've created in ORD needs to be checked/reviewed by the other office. I guess I'm a little disappointed, but maybe not too surprised. Sorry the answer isn't more clear cut, but the once nearly universal DGN file format is a thing of the past. Previous or "lower" versions will not always read in the configuration resources created in newer / higher versions. There is, however, some of the same limitations that arise with design files here. Availability of the data associated with those elements has been a little hit or miss.įor the question on the configurations, they are very similar in nature, and can be configured to share resources. In broad terms, I would get to see the content that is part of what I call the "digital physical model", that which is actually rendered in to MicroStation elements in the 2D and 3D views. I do have, however, some experience that not all the information that may be needed would be available. Since we are able to open the files in all three applications, including an "inferior" one, someone could conceivably use OpenSite to review your OpenRoads work. Files from OpenSite would open and be "upgraded" or branded when opened in OpenRoads, and would open in OpenSite afterwards as read only. So files created in, or that contain, OpenRoads content will open read only in OpenSite. In addition to the schema, there is a "hierarchy" between the Civil Open X products, from "high" to "low" that is OpenRail > OpenRoads > OpenSite. This has changed from version to version of the software so you will need to be in compatible versions to open and work on the files within the same product. The storage mechanism is referred to as the Civil schema. Unfortunately, the manner in which Bentley has programed the applications to store the "intelligent" data generated in the Open X civil products has left true interoperability unavailable. Both applications use the V8 DGN file format which will permit the opening of files between the two applications. There is a lot of nuance in your question here.
