    Copying Tags From One DWG To Another

    Problem

    How can tags be copied from one DWG file to another?

    Product: MicroStation J
    Version: 07.02.04.20

    Solution

    Tags cannot be copied from one DWG file to another.

    You need to convert the DWG files to DGN files. When the files are converted, they need to be Referenced into each other. While the files are Referenced, set the configuration variable MS_TAGCOPYTOMASTER to 1. This permits tags to be copied from the Reference to the master file, where they will remain as a tags.
