AT_REBOIDS object enabler

MKH-VB — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 21:07:20 GMT

Just received some older cad files from a consultant. I am seeing the text "at_reboids" on some of the pipe and fittings. How can I get an enabler to be able to view or edit these fittings? I have uploaded an image to clarify. Thanks for any help.

Reboids eh.... sorry to hear that. They are 'intelligent objects' created by the old Rebis Autoplant program. Bentley bought them and I don't think that it's been updated recently. But check with Bentley and see if they have an Object Enabler, or perhaps some one on their forums or support team could help crash the reboids down to basic graphical entities.

Otherwise................ I hope you either have a hard copy to redraw them all from, or a PDF to import from.

Then too, if the consultant you received these from actually can still read them, he should be able to explode or export them to basic graphical entities

Or.... go grab this freebie and see if it will let you remove the custom proxy tags and let explode or manipulate them https://apps.autodesk.com/ACD/en/Detail/Index?id=1498235021060360128&appLang=en&os=Win32_64

Hi @MKH-VB,

IT appears that an enabler might still be available here. It supports AutoCAD 2015 according to the description.

File back, cleaned up with that utility I noted. See if anything important is missing.

Ugh... AutoPLANT objects. Yeah, your first port of call should definitely be to get the client to dumb those down to solid objects. The AutoPLANT OE has this nasty tendency to implant data at the drawing level. If you're familiar with the behavior of AEC data dictionaries, this is very similar, with the exception that it chucks a wobbly if you try to remove the dictionaries with the OE unloaded and adds them back at drawing close if it is loaded.

Do you have a link to the Object Enabler? This page suggests that it does exist but doesn't let you know how to get to it.

There was a link in this thread from Bently. It seems to have expired. All I did was create a Bently account, and post in the Autoplant forum. Got a very quick reply.
