To Copy Elements from a Reference to the Active DGN File

  1. In the References dialog's list box, select the reference in which the elements are located.
  2. Turn on Display, Snap, and Locate.
  3. In the attached reference, select or place a fence around the elements to be copied.
  4. Select the Copy Element tool ( Drawing > Home > Manipulate ).

  5. Enter a data point to define the origin of the elements to be copied.

    The elements are dynamically displayed as the pointer is moved about the screen.

  6. Enter a data point to define the origin of the copies of the elements in the active model.
    Note: If "Treat Attachment as Element for Manipulation" is turned on, the entire reference is copied rather than elements within the reference.
