Editing and Updating Linked and Embedded Objects

To edit a linked or embedded object, double-click the object in the DGN file. The document opens in the source application.

For linked objects, you can edit the source document by opening it directly from the source application without opening MicroStation. Also, you can update the linked object by double-clicking it the next time you open the container DGN file.

Note: Although double-clicking an embedded object opens the document in the source application, that document is actually part of the DGN file. Note that the name and path of the DGN file appears in the title bar of the document. Closing the DGN file closes both the document and the source application in which you were editing it.
