A Note on Importing Point Data from PSET (Point Set) Objects
If the .VDA file you are importing contains point data within PSET Objects, PC-DMIS may create a .cad file with fewer CAD entities than what actually appears on the screen.
To get a number of CAD entities equivalent to the number of displayed points on the Graphic Display window, follow this workaround:
Close PC-DMIS.
Start the PC-DMIS Settings Editor.
Expand the ImportSettings section.
Set the ExplodePolylines entry to TRUE.
Set the KeepPolylines entry to FALSE.
Save your changes to the JSON file, close PC-DMIS Settings Editor, and restart PC-DMIS.
Import the .vda file again.
For information on how to modify entries, see the "Modifying Setting Entries" section.
