Controls how references are handled when you save a file as a V7 DGN file.
You can choose to keep references as attachments, combine a file and its references into a single output file, or omit the reference attachments from the output file.

Identifies which levels from the reference attachments are merged (if a merge option is selected for the attachments).
Controls how standard attachments to the default model are handled when you save to a V7 file.
Controls how self-attachments are handled when you save to a V7 file.
A self-attachment is a reference attached to itself. In MicroStation, self-attachments are often used to create detailed sections of a drawing.
Controls how attachments to non-default models are handled when you save to a V7 DGN file.
V7 files contain a single model. Therefore, when a V8 file is saved to a V7 file, only the default model is saved. Any additional (non-default) models are saved to separate files with the model name appended to the original file name. For example, if file “Test.dwg” has two sheet models, “Sheet1” and “Sheet2”, it will be saved to three V7 files: “Test.dgn”, “Test_sheet1.dgn”, and “Test_sheet2.dgn”. The references attachments to non-default models will be updated to attach to the appropriate V7 files.
Controls how live nested references are saved to V7 files. V7 does not support live nesting.
Describes how levels are handled when you merge references from the DGN file into a DWG/DXF file.
If on, when saving a DWG or V8 DGN file to a V7 DGN file, all references are converted to V7 DGN files.
When saving a V7 DGN file to another V7 DGN file, this setting is ignored. Since the file format for the master file is not converted, the file formats for references are not converted.
If the master file is saved to a different directory, all references are also saved to that directory. If the master file is saved to the same directory, then each reference is saved to its original directory.
If on, maintains the surfaces and solids and shapes when they are clipped during the merge process. If off, the surfaces and solids are dropped to their boundary/wireframe elements.
