Creating New Versions
You can create as many versions for a document as you need. You can either take an original document and create a version for it, or you can take the active version and create a version for it.
You can also create a new version for a master document and all its references. This capability is supported for both MicroStation references and AutoCAD xrefs. When the new versions are created, the set relationship between the new version of the master document and the new versions of its references are maintained. However, whether or not the active version of the master document will be linked to the active versions of its references, or to the new versions of the references, depends on the datasource setting, Lock reference documents to versions:
- If this datasource setting is off, the active version of the master document will be linked to the active versions of its references.
- If this datasource setting is on, the active version of the master document will be linked to the new versions of its references.
A document can only have one active version. If needed, you can switch the active version by taking a non-active version and making it the active version.
