Problem

Error "dbobji.cpp@6858" when opening a DWG file.

When opening specific DWG format files this error message appears:

RealDWG Error !!dbobji.cpp@6858: eNotOpenForWrite

in version V8i (SELECTseries 1) 08.11.07.171.

In other versions (e.g.) V8.5 the file cannot be edited.

Solution

An issue was found in the RealDWG Library which has now been fixed in 2011.

Workaround:

  1. Open dwg file in XM or V8i (08.11.05.yy)
  2. Save as .dgn (this step is essential!)
  3. Save as .dwg (2007/2008/2009 format)
  4. Exit MicroStation
  5. Open dwg file in V8i (SELECTseries 1) 08.11.07.171 - without error message
