using bentley microstation which often has .tiff attachments (These are engineering drawings that were hand drawn and scanned into the system over the years as industry went more CAD based). We generally use GIMP to erase elements from the drawing, use {file -> overwrite fileName.tiff} then open the file in microstation and draw in the CAD elements. The tiff and DGN files are located in the same file location, microstation opens fine until I use GIMP and overwrite the tiff. when I try to open the CAD file the program produces an error and closes. I can change the .tiff file name in which case the .DGN no longer references the file (normally attached as a Raster?) and the CAD will open without the .tiff.
A get around I can use (though it messes up the presentation) is to open the .tiff in paint, hit save, and close it. then it's normal operating procedure. What's happening here? is GIMP changing the .tiff format? everyone else in my department has zero trouble with this so I know how it SHOULD work, but it just doesn't. tackled the issue with IT and microstation support and it appears to be a GIMP issue.
Any and all help/suggestions are welcome! thanks folks.
