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)?
Unknown said: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..

That's what I was saying in the first place ... the orginal poster states he has self ref attachments and cannot untick them and so they wont all merge into one file and they cannot be unticked because they are self refed models they are in use so read only in the active file view..
so the only way for this to work is fence file which creates a new file with all the refs merged ....
