MicroStation Connect Update 13
I am trying to control the version of the .imodel version being published with a script to 1.6 and not 2.0. It looks like the settings file I created and that is loaded is not supporting the imodel version output setting. Anyone have any ideas or solution for this issue before I file a ticket?

What happens if you execute key-in PUBLISHDGN CREATEDGNDBIMODEL?
PUBLISHDGN CREATEDGNDBIMODEL

it publishes to the latest version, 2.0. No way to control the version setting via keyin or settings file, at least nothing in the settings file that represents that the version is set to a certain version. So far I am unable to control the dialog through vba either.

OK, that seems to conform to the help topic, which mentions that key-in. It also mentions Bentley DgnDb iModel Importer version 1.5.x, But doesn't provide a key-in to invoke that importer.
looks like an option would be to run a command line statement to reach into PW, pull the .i.dgn, publish it to 1.6 and the push that back into PW. I see how to do it in the help doc noted in the MicroStation help topic.
so I can successfully publish a .i.dgn to .imodel but I cannot get it to log into PW and pull data down. Not sure what it is looking for in regards to "datasourcename" for the pwDatasource switch.
the keyin should be PUBLISHDGN CREATEDGNDBIMODEL 1.5
PUBLISHDGN
CREATEDGNDBIMODEL 1.5
this would set it to publish in version 1.5 and you can try running the keyin publishdgn publish force.

Have you tried to use the configuration variables to load the settings file you want to use. There is the variable MS_PUBLISHDGN_DESIGNLINKS see the following:
