File with materials export

Hi

after years using Microstation

i want to know someting more about materials export. Every time you need to use Packager or send file and all texture you use.

Now i want to send i-model for someone - but it seems that exported file is without material too. Packager extract files and you have too many files.

Sorry, don't know if i'm clear :

Maybe is possible  to  collect all materials  ( assigned and attached )  to  new format outside file   for example  .dgnm  or something ?  and of course with possibility to extract material from this file in material editor.

Than you can send only 2 files  dgn + dgnm  file without packager or other form. Or better  -  export for publishing  to dgn* ( or i-model file ) with materials  in one.

Why dgn can't have it inside dgn ? Ok the file is bigger but if you use materials you know this. Better is simple button for detach / attach while save.

    I would suggest you use Packager to collect all the textures when you make the Packager file remove the P in PZIP extension so it becomes a .zip file then you can easily open the file with file explorer. Make a new folder and copy all the textures and the dgns or I-model into the folder zip this up and send it......MicroStation will find the textures because the I-model and textures are in the same folder.

    Cheers,
