Self Attachments not merging

Version 08.11.09.459

I am trying to save a file with multiple models and references to a file with all references merged. The options are set to merge all external attachments and all self attachments yet when I open the newly created file the self attachments are not merged. I noticed that in the original file the self attachments are marked as Write Locked. How can this be changed so that self attachments are merged when saving as (or exporting)?

  • another way to do this is just a fence file...fit the view all include refs

    then create a fence to include the full view  now key in FF=

    and hit enter it will prompt you for a file name in the active folder to save the contents of your fence then once done  place a data point  in the view to confirm  your  wish to Fence file dgn

    and boom a file with all the refs merged but on level that were turned on and visible will be copied out to this file...

    Or save as  xxyy.dgn

    Then in the new file from the ref manger select all the refs and right mouse on selection and option to merge references is there..same result but not as fast as FenceFile

    and to remember FF= is easy also

    another command  SF= this is save contents of active  file to new file  also handy  for spitting data out of one file into another file...
