V8 is a much better tool for DWG translation than any of the other MSTA releases, but it is still not seamless to go from MSTA to AutoCAD.

"" 100% translation will never happened.""
I agree, tell it to the Bentley propaganda team. I've had an IT guy from a subcontractor swear he had been given a guarantee by Bentley that it was a 100% translationm error-free. When I asked for the documentation he balked and said that's what his bentley Dealer/support said.

"" some errors maybe appears, but it is a logical thing, isn't it? ""
Only if you're dealing with a translation. We've gotton out of the MSTA translation repair business. If you're going to work with us, you'll give a a 100% compatible autocad DWG to our specifications or you won't get paid.
Oddly we had 2 Microstation only suppliers that figured it would be easier to buy several seats of AutoCAD to make sure the translations were sound. They discovered it was quicker and easier for them to just do it in AutoCAD outright and skip the translation step. Now the only MSTA they do is for a local client that is married to MSTA.

"" What I see weird here is why ADSK created that thing named Trusted DWG, including the trademark, at the same time AutoCAD is jumping to 3D environment. ""
It's not a "new thing" it's just a notification that the file was not created using an autodesk product.
What does that have to do with 3D?
What do you mean by "at the same time AutoCAD is jumping to 3D environment"?? They have been 3D for well over a decade. They have made it easier with R2K7.
But hey, that's just me.
