I just switched over to Microstation Connect Edition from V8I. In V8I I used to be able to set my references as elements for manipulation and copy them from one file and paste them into another file. This doesn't seem to work in Connect Edition. Is there a solution to this?
I am not really sure if I get your problem right, but isn't that a problem which you could solve using Ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V (paste) and making groups? And perhaps activating and deactivating the reference, depending on where you want to paste the copied things. In addition merging the reference with the master could help?
Could you give an example what your steps were in V8i and where you are stuck in CE?
