Question: I have a dgn with many tagged elements. The opening of the file process lasts more than five minutes. After that it works perfectly. Can too many tag associations slow down the initial process.
Answer: This is a bug. MicroStation is needlessly double-checking all of the connections between the tags and the tag set definitions. Because there are so many, this takes a while. This will be fixed in MicroStation V8 XM.
