Background

Steps to resolve

Enter methods to resolve in this section.

As a solution, you need to use either ProStructures Update 7.2 or ProStructures 2023 which supports the upgrade process of old ProStructures for AutoCAD based dwg files to the dgn file without any issues. Once the file is upgraded to dgn then you can use this dgn file in the latest version.

NOTE: You can have both versions (U7.2 and 2023 and (or) 2024) installed in the same machine as ProStructures 2023/2024 supports side by side installation.
