How to export/save map with clipped references

Hi,

We are designing (re-designing) a map production system. Previosly it was build on plain MicroStation but now we are using Bentley Map. In the end we need to export the finished map to a single dgn file (see image).

The active model contains the frame. The base map and cables are in two, clipped, reference models.

Since the information in the references are features I can't merge, Save As (merged refs). File fence with fence mode clip almost works but asks if I wants to post the changes. If I say No, everything is cleared from the ff-file.

I tried the same operation from plain MicroStation but this resulted in skipped shapes, no merge during Save As etc.

So, what work-flow should I use to create a single file with the same look as the original map? I also want to be able to use that work-flow from VBA.

I'm using SS3 and SS2. Problem in both versions.

Regards,

Krister
