Microstation V8i (SELECTseries 2). I have a drawing in 2D that consists of multiple elements. I want to have the whole drawing as one entity so i can copy the drawing and paste it elsewhere as one drawing. Your help is appreciated.

Why not use windows explorer to copy the file?

How would I do that?
Basically that is the shape I have and it is broken up into small segments/elements. I want to save that drawing as one entity (so when i click on it the whole drawing is highlighted and not just a segment)
You can select all elements you want to add to a group and then press Ctrl<G>. This will create a cell of the selected elements. next time you select one of the elements the whole cell will highlight an can be copied.

Hello. Tried that. Still selecting individual elements.

Are they locked?
Check Properties:
You can use CTRL+L (to lock) and CTRL+M (to unlock).
Or is this a reference file?
Drawing is unlocked. No, not a reference file

Have you tried using CTRL+G with less elements?
I've seen this happend especially by the look of your screenshot 2D output that came throught 3D. This cause your drawing to have a lot of elements and CTRL+G can't make the group, specially using SS2 which is now somewhat older version of the program (2013).
Depends what your need is, but by the look of it the best way is to work with references. Or update your program version.
