    Covert a CEL file to a DWG

    You can open the .cel file in MicroStation, and save as a .dwg. One word of caution: each model sheet will be saved as an individual .dwg file.

    CELL LIBRARIES IN V8

    Yep, it's V8. You need to open the .cel file itself, like you would any .dgn file. When you do, the individual cells that you would normally see in the Element/Cells/Attach window or the cell selector file will appear as individual models. If you don't see the Models button on any of your...

    CELL LIBRARIES IN V8

    Yes, you can merge multiple libraries. Open one of your existing libraries, then click on the Models tab. Along the top will be another button for Import Models. Select the file you'd like to add, and you're done.

    There is also a tool (the last icon in the row) in the DROP toolbox named DROP DIMENSION ELEMENT that will produce the same results. You don't have to worry which items are toggled, which will speed up the process.

    Excel table in MicroStation

    I can't provide any info on the embedding process, since I have not tried it. I can however, suggest that you try running your .dgn file through EDG. EDG is a graphics editing routine provided with MicroStation. A good resource for learning about EDG is the link below...

    Traffic Sign Software

    I am looking for opinions/reviews of traffic sign software compatible with MicroStation/J, and compliant with the MUTCD - Millenium Edition. Specifically, I would like to place cells in a MicroStation drawing for use as traffic control plans and presentations. Any comments?
