The Merg into
Master option can be used for an
OpenPlant Modeler
file when running in Microstation Mode.
However, you must first turn off the handlers for all OpenPlant components for
the file while still in the standard
OpenPlant Modeler

Note: It is recommended to make a backup of the file to be merged as once
you turn off the handlers the file will no longer be able to be used in
OpenPlant Modeler
.

component handlers.

the handlers as well as the EC data.
