Drop shared cell to normal cell and keep tags

DWGs come with shared cells. For example the title block. If you need to change it you need to either drop it to a normal cell or completely.

Often these cells come with tags. Dropping a cell means that the tags are lost altogether. I reckon this as a rather unexpected behaviour trying to look at it as a unbiased bystander...

You can "change tags droptext" But then you just have the association broken.

I would rather have the "drop shared cell to normal cell" to keep tags as attachment to the cell.

We have this issue on a near daily basis.

    Thanks for the update on this Gerd. We will look into this as a future consideration.

    Fun Fact:

    If you open a DWG and SaveAs V8DGN with the Options "Shared Cells" OFF and Tags ON

    You will get a nice DGN with "Normal Cells" that still have the original tags attached.

    (Only found out recently...)
