AI

If you aren't utilizing AI to build programs and macros in your environment you are missing out.

I've had copilot build me several automation workflows that just keep making my job easier...that's the cool part of AI.

On the flipside, the horror of realizing that you are training this AI does mess with your head...although I'm not sure we can stop it...so I'm just trying to roll with it.

Utility Filters

ORD 2023 Drainage and Utilities

When Utility Filters become corrupt how do I fix them fully?

I recreated them very carefully making sure I was selecting the appropriate criteria and random utilities seem to not populate, luckily I can still use the selection method for those individual lines but wtf happened...

This worked on all of my utilities before so I don't know why this all of a sudden corrupted in my .dgnlib

Made a copy and tried to compress the file after deleting the filters, then created from scratch and get weird results, sometimes only a few work

Sent a ticket in and haven't heard back just wondering if any DU experts can chime in

This is only occurring with CONDUITS as all my Nodes come in no issue

Update

So, not sure what I really did to fix this as I got frustrated and did not get into the sequence of every step...

It was a combination of deleting ord user preferences, suda and sue folders, Bentley temp folders and compressing the .dgnlib after deleting filters making new ones and also using compact database and synchronize drawing...

I spent way too much time going through all of this shit just to find it magically working again after not knowing what I did to truly fix it.

I did almost everything 1 by 1 and then when nothing was working I decided I had nothing to lose and just started giving it a shotgun approach on all the little behind the scenes things that comes with the software such as preferences etc. that seem to corrupt on a regular basis at the worst times!

I hope ORD 2026 is better 😒
