Floor plans, sections/elevations etc are cut from the model and cached.
Using microstation, we then reference these CVE files as underlays to a series of detail files, which are then nested into sheet files to create final drawings. All good, however, when users update the detail files through the sheets, this seems to cause the CVE's to break. geometry disappears and we need to reopen with OBD to refresh the CVE's to bring the geometry back.
Very frustrating.
Our workset files have the following lines written in, which should, in theory prevent microstation/powerdraft from being able to update the CVE's, prevent the model from being loaded and allow a smooth and quick workflow. As it stands, everytime we open a file with CVE referenced, despite MS_REF_NO_CVE_LOAD = 1 being set, on file open every nested reference model file is read, meaning file open is increbibly slow, and the amount of rework is crippling.
%ifdef BB_DISCIPLINE
_USTN_OUT = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)BIM/out/
MS_REF_NO_CVE_LOAD = 0
MS_CVE_ALLOW_ACTIVATE = 1
%else
_USTN_OUT = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)Export/
MS_REF_NO_CVE_LOAD = 1
MS_CVE_ALLOW_ACTIVATE = 0
%endif
Does anybody have any experience of similar or input on this?
Currently using OBD U5, but the same issue has existed in every version of ABD/MS Connect.
