2024 Update 1 Issues

Fixed the issue causing 2024 Update 1 to be removed, related to circular referencing of DGNs in child or derived profiles. Not all files opened with 2024 Update 1 were affected.

2024 Update 2 now automatically checks and heals affected DGN files when opened, ensuring they are not impacted by the previous issue. When a file is detected as previously opened with 2024 Update 1, the software will evaluate and heal it if required. One of four dialogs will appear based on the success of the healing process.

The file was affected and has been successfully repaired.

The file was affected and has been repaired except for some objects that need to be recreated if they are still needed. These objects are shown in bold red and grouped for easy identification.

The file was affected and has been repaired, but some pre-existing issues remain. It should still be fine to use. If problems arise, contact support.

Geometry Enhancements

  • Added ability to modify unacceptable slew values in the Regression Points table.

Drainage and Utilities Enhancements
