Hi Shelley, The key to reading tags from DGN is to tick the settings button when you are creating a workspace and choose 'group-by schema'. Then your tags are available as source attributes to handle as everyone has suggested.
But if you don't change the group-by setting it becomes very difficult to expose the tag attributes in Workbench. Regards, Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
