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)?

  • In the Reference file dialog in the activated status column click on the checkmark, You should then get a dialog that will ask you if you want to release the write lock, say ok and it will then release it. Then try to see if the merge works

    I thought you cant release the lock on Self reffed sub models, that's why Fence File is used instead..
