Layout

Question

Hello folks, 
 I have layout.dgn file which contains more than 300dgn files in multiple sub-levels. I have to open each file till individual node and examine it. Is there any option to sepeare these merged files? Need your support.

I agree - your description is a bit vague. 
 But if what everyone is assuming is correct and you have 300 models in your DGN file and you need to separate them to individual DGN files, one suggestion I have - since you are going to export them to another format anyway - is to export the current DGN with its models to DWGs. 
 There is an option to save each model to a separate file: 
 
 However - if it is reference files you have instead of models, then this option will not work for you.

 For the benefit of other users with similar request,, I assume Anup used the packager utility to harvest all the external reference file attachments attached to his layout file putting them all in a pzip and then ( if rename extension to zip) he could or did extract all the files harvested to one nominated folder ... this is a very good way to find all the ref files and copy them out very quickly and the code already exists in the utility already in Microstation.. very neat solution especially for a novice user.... If we had a better understanding of the post we probably would have suggested that.
