I've asked this before...
How can I REMOVE all civil data from a model? If I get an error "cannot detach a reference from a managed model", how can I UNmanage that model?
We have a couple of projects that were started in InRoads SS4, then backed down to SS2 when SS4 proved too unstable a platform. However, there are still civil dependency data of some kind lingering around in a number of the projects files, both design references and sheets. This manifests itself most frequently in refusal to detach reference files because of "civil dependencies". We have to keep SS4 loaded on our machines solely for the purpose of detaching reference files...
I want to know know what process I can use to eliminate every shred of civil data from my sheets.
From within SS4, I've tried "select all", then "Deactivate Rules", "Deactivate Reference Rules" and "Remove Rules". I've tried "Drop Element - Application Element". I don't know for certain if any of these is the right tool for the job, and I'm not entirely sure they are working they way "I" think they should. How will I know when ALL civil data/dependencies have been removed?
I'm not going to mess up our design by doing this. I understand the desire to protect civil data from accidental deletion/modification. But there "has" to be some way to take that sort of information out of files that really, really don't need it.

Hi Mary,
have you tried this?
To Remove Civil attributes/schema from file:
1.Use MDL to load the DLL: Mdl load Bentley.Civil.Model.Tools.3.1.dll
2.Key in the cleanup command: CIVIL CLEAN
DOn't forget to make a backup before.

When I enter that keyin, Nothing appears to happen. No messages in the Message center, nothing. I still get an error about civil dependencies when I try to detach the reference file.

Hi Marc,
Gave it a try and it seems to work in MX SS4.
Can I ask what CIVIL NATIVE_DGN (appears when that dll is loaded) does? Does it export the current DGN to a civil-cleaned DGN?

Hi Mark,
I tried this command and it seems to export every civil elements (apart from the Terrain) to simple microstation elements.
Thanks Marc
Any equivalent CLEAN method for ORD?
