There is a growing number of reports that Bentley files are not importing well
with other applications, not just Autodesk.
The latest sample files that Bentley submitted do validate and work well, so
there may be a new software revision that is causing the problem.
If you can zip the LandXML file and send it too me I will check it out and be
able to give you some detail on what the specific problem is.

Subject: [LandXML] LandXML - Bentley/In Roads to Land Desktop 2006
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to import an XML file into Land
Desktop
2006 (all patches). It's a real struggle on the user level to actually
get
XML to work properly. It seems like a pretty straight forward concept
but I
can not get it to work properly from a Bentley product to Land Desktop.
As
I understand it, Land Desktop is pretty much the instigators of the
LandXML
format. I know XML is a loose set of data coding/formatting and that
LandXML is trying to tighten this up with a set of standards. Is this
an
issue between Bentley and AutoDesk? I emailed a Bentley official once
and
he seemed to indicate that Bentley's thoughts on XML was that it is a
way to
get raw data to another computer/cad platform as opposed to a finished
surface or complete alignment etc... Does this ring true?
If anyone has any help on this I would appreciate it, or at least some
sort
of steer in the correct direction! To recap I just want help in
importing
an XML file (a 26 mb file) purportedly from Bentley Inroads into Land
Desktop 2006 format.
Thanks!
