(Technology Preview) To convert an existing DGNWS file to a new DGNSI file

By default, when you create a new WorkSet, it will be in the DGNWS format and will contain only WorkSet information.
To check the file if it's a DGNWS or DGNSI formatted file, you have to hover the mouse pointer over the file as shown in the image below:


  1. Select the desired file
  2. Select the Open Sheet Index for Edit icon to edit.

  3. Select Save as Separate Sheet Index File from the reset pop-up menu.


  4. Select Yes to save.


    You are alerted by a message that the Save As action cannot be undone once saved as a separate Sheet index file.
  5. Close the dialog box.


    The selected file is now saved as a DGNSI file.
