 WTF bentley - it would have been helpful to include this in the help.

I am now having the same and would really like a solution that doesn&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;rely on &amp;#39;dropping the cell&amp;#39;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: parametric cells do not export to dwg!!!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/466225?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2018 15:50:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:879cd0c2-6072-4c4f-9cbf-b64289b532c2</guid><dc:creator>Maria Garcia</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I got them.

&lt;p&gt;normally I would use SelectBy, however this does not include the parametric cell option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: parametric cells do not export to dwg!!!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/466221?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2018 15:37:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:636a225e-ec18-43e2-9450-8fad11775dc9</guid><dc:creator>Marco Salino</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t think there is a straight out key-in for that operation but let us check if there is a way to automate&amp;nbsp;it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: parametric cells do not export to dwg!!!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/466218?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2018 15:26:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b57f8dd6-5fe0-4d64-80c4-9d07ac0e8ef1</guid><dc:creator>Duncan Gammie</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;thanks marco, appreciated&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: parametric cells do not export to dwg!!!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/466217?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2018 15:25:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:fdb57977-eaa0-4bf3-96bc-c286fe1caa2d</guid><dc:creator>Duncan Gammie</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Maria,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have uploaded the cell library and a sample dgn file containing some placed cells.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When saving to dwg, it produces 2 files. one named as per the dgn file, and another with the same name and the drawing model appended which contains the (successfully) exported geometry&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;neither contain the parametric cells.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;parametric cells are &amp;quot;dropped&amp;quot; to shared cells when exporting to DWG. We need to understand why this is not working for you, one of our tech support colleagues will be in touch with you asap to investigate this issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: parametric cells do not export to dwg!!!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/466206?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2018 14:37:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e6ab56a6-6ad6-47b1-86d1-f1970766835b</guid><dc:creator>Duncan Gammie</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Is there any method to select all parametric cells in a model? ie either by key-in or SelectBy ??&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
