Resolved - Error opening file - Consultants OnlyODOT has resolved the issue between OpenRoads Designer CE v10.10 and MicroStation CE v10.16, and ProjectWise Explorer Client versions greater than 10.00.03.299, that was preventing DGNs from being edited from our ProjectWise datasource. If your firm uses a ProjectWise Explorer version other than 10.00.03.299 and continues to receive an alert "Error opening file...", please email
odot.east@odot.oregon.gov to let us know.
