I have some old drawings with old border i want to copy paste the inside drawing to new border

When you "look" at the old file and the new file, do they line up on top of each other? or would you have to do any scaling, moving or rotating to put the old drawing into the new one?

Do you need a new copy of the old drawing into the new border, or do you just want to replace the old border with the new one?

Are the borders reference files themselves, or are they active linework in the drawings? Do you plan to turn off the old border, or clip the reference to get rid of it?

Do you plan to merge the old drawing reference, or just have it as an attachment?

What version of the software are you using?

No scaling required i just needs to take old drawing as refrence  to new border and needs to move and merge into master then only drawing inside of old border has to moved to new border and then copy paste (title 1,2,3 and page number etc ( both old border and new border are same in size just updating it with new latest version of border)

Hope you got all answers. if not I'll give you some files new drawings and the old drawings

I am currently using MicroStation V8I. As i am thinking to do it all work in a once is that possible ?

Thanks MaryB for answering my questions

No its not programming related i think there should be way to change sheet numbers inside of borders using VBA

I do not understand it :-(

You think that because "there should be a way to do it using VBA", it's not programming related?

A lot of things can be done and accomplished using VBA, but there are several crucial and mandatory requirements / conditions:

• It has to be possible to do it (at least theoretically) manually using normal tools.
  This condition is often omitted, but it's important to demonstrate the whole workflow step-by-step. Sometimes the conclusion can be "this tool cannot be accessed or simulated using VBA", but typically VBA code will follow the manual process.
• The data has to be clean and structured properly.
  As discussed earlier in this thread already: When data e.g. cannot be identified, because they are all in the same level, or there is no unambiguous rule how numbers will be generated, no code can solve it. Sometimes VBA can help a bit even in such bad case (e.g. to streamline manual process or make it faster).
• All data have the same structure, there are no exceptions.

When (and few others) are fulfilled, it can be solve by VBA (and discussed in Programming forum).

Thanks MR Jan.  please check the files i have uploaded my work is to copy and paste everything like filled text data and inside drawing from old border to new border in nearly 1000+ files i just want a way or procedure so that all data gets copied automatically from old border to new border. or any easiest way would be very helpful thanks

Now we are right back to the beginning of this thread, as if none of the previous discussion even happened. Have you been following anything that we have said?

It MIGHT be possible for you to write a VBA to accomplish what you want. You will have to write it yourself or hire/pay someone else to do it. If you plan to write it yourself, you will need to go to the programming forum to ask questions. This is not the place for programming discussions, and writing a VBA IS programming.

Saying that something should be possible doesn't make it possible, and it doesn't get you any closer to finding the answer.
We've told you what we know, given you the few suggestions we have. Now it is up to you to do the rest of the work to figure out how to get it done.
