Using civil3d 2012 and want to be able to open up the dwg file in Microstaton and have the civil3d objects show up.
How can this be done? The microstation guy tells me it the object enabler in civil3d but nothing I do seems to make them display correcetly in microstation, they appear as squares.
You might have better luck posting in the Civil 3D forum for this request, rather than in network licensing. The following link will take you to the correct forum. Thanks!

What versions of Civil 3D and MicroStation are you working with? If it is MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 2) and Civil 3D 2011 or earlier it should work. If you are using Civil 3D 2012 it will not open in the current release of MicroStation.
Here is a play list on youtube opening files between platforms.

If it is an option for you MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3) is currently available as beta. That release will work with your Civil 3D 2012 files. SS3 should be released soon commercially in the next month or so.
