Batch Convert

Question

I am running Batch Convert to merge reference attachments on my drawing files. 
 Is there a way to exclude certain references on getting merged into the master file and remain as an attached dgn? 
 
 Thanks in advance

If they were the same reference files then you could write a batch process or script file or macro to turn off those named refs you don't want merged, then run the batch convert.. 
 Then I would create a batch process / macro/script to reverse the changes so the refs are back on the originals.. 
 however if you only did it to back ups then no need to reverse anything just delete the neve versions hen done... 
 Look in help on references there are specific keyins to turn on of off refs etc... or record a macro to get the syntax and apply it to all your refs that you need too...

I was thinking that somebody will give the answer of running a script to do it, but have no clue on how to do it! 
 
It is a good workaround of creating a script to turn off the reference I need to be retained and another script to turn it back on. 
 
Great tip Lorys!!! Thanks.
