  2. In the attached i.model dgn launch Configuration Variable either through search option or through File→Settings→ Configuration → Configuration Variable.



    After launching Configuration Variable dialog box, Click on New icon

    Priorly Verify : OPM_USE_OFFLINE_2D3D_ON_CONNECTED_MODE- True in Configuration variable search option if it already exist.

  4. Clicking on ok and then in Alert dialog box hit on yes to save the changes in Configuration File.
