When defining the CAD file location preferences in SmartPlant Instrumentation, the following restrictions apply to MicroStation:
-
MicroStation paths must not have spaces.
-
The CAD function folder must not exceed fifty two characters.
A CAD function folder path that is longer than fifty two characters or any MicroStation
path that has spaces prevents MicroStation from generating or displaying drawings
or cells from SmartPlant Instrumentation. For example, the default CAD function folder
path
C:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Instrumentation\CAD\CADFunc
has a space and is longer than allowed. In this case, you need to copy the CADFunc
folder and its content to another location, for example, C:\CAD\CADFunc, and also,
reinstall MicroStation in a path that does not have spaces.
