RE: FILE SIZE TO LARGE

I'm not sure if there is a "maximum" file size in Microstation or not. It could be that there is not enough extra room on your hard drive to complete the save, and that's the reason for the error.

You might try compressing your design file before exiting (File --> Compress Design) which can shrink the file size considerably if the file is not already as "efficient" as possible.

Good luck!

RE: FILE SIZE TO LARGE

Microstation files are limited to 32 MG.
Try compressing file as previously recommended.

You may need to utilize refernce files more in order to shrink your file.
