    Problem Description

    User has a drawing that will not display cells or let them place cells.

    Reason

    The file has an Original File Format of V7.

    Steps to Resolve

    The Solution is achieved by merging this file into a fresh V8 seed file, and then placing the cell.

    1. Create a new blank V8 file (using seeds delivered with Microstation V8i Select Series)

    2. Attach the V7 file,  using Nested Reference level 1 if this has references attached to it

    Make all nested-references "Direct Attachment"

    3. Merge the "primary" reference into master.

    4. Save the new file
