    Create Cell Library from DWG Shared Cells

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): All Versions
      Environment:  N\A
      Area:  Cells
      Subarea:  Shared cells
      Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group
       

    Problem

    The DWG drawing contains shared cells and a method is sought to extract those cells out to a cell library.

    Solution

    You can export the shared cells in your file to a new cell library using the keyin:

    EXPORT CELLS SHARED <full path and filename>

    For example, entering the line keyin below will export the shared cells to the file: test.cel on your D: drive.

    eg. EXPORT CELLS SHARED d:\test.cel

    Once exported, you can edit the contents of these cells (models) in that exported file and after that update the cells in your original file(s).
