CADWorx Plant 2015 .dwg For .dwg files containing proxy objects, the following software is required:
Professional, and or
CADWorx earlier .drv MicroStation V8i and RealDWG 2013 SP1
Equipment  Install and activate MicroStation V8i SS3, and then install
RealDWG 2013 SP1 to translate any proxy objects inside
these files. For normal AutoCAD entities, the presence of
MicroStation is ignored. However, if the file contains at least
one proxy object and MicroStation V8i is installed, translation
is done using MicroStation.
CADWorx Plant 2014 Object Enabler:
 For CADWorx data, you must install the CADWorx Plant 2014
Object Enabler to view CADWorx Plant 2014 components
stored in an AutoCAD drawing (.dwg) file. You can install the
utility from the SmartPlant Interop Publisher DVD (Prerequisite
Software), or go to the Intergraph Smart Support website and
download this executable from CADWorx Freeware Tools and
Utilities.
CADWorx 2015 SP1 allows you to export .drv files that can be translated
to Smart Models for Smart 3D and SmartPlant Foundation target
applications.
SmartPlant Interop Publisher supports AutoCAD 2014 or earlier .dwg
files.

 For ACIS and IGES files, the .drv and .mdb2 files generated by SmartPlant Interop Publisher during
translation are created with empty label data. This can also apply to MicroStation V7 .dgn files that do
not have tag data.
