Default export options

If you want views placed on sheets or linked files in the project to be exported to a single file rather than to several files that reference each other, make sure the Export views on sheets and links as DGN references option is cleared. This setting establishes the default setting in the Export CAD Formats dialog when you export using this setup.

For the Export to file format option, select the desired MicroStation format from the drop-down list. The selected format will be the default format displayed in the Export CAD Formats dialog when you export using this setup.

Note: Upon export to V8 format, sheets are converted into sheet models in the DGN file. However, V7 format only supports one model, so even if the Export views on sheets and links as DGN references option is selected, and referenced files are created, they will not be referenced to the host file.
