I was able to do this with the version of GME previous to GME 3.

Hi,

I am very surprised, that this "feature" ever worked some time. Since libraries are attached in binary mode (as .mga files), all the metaref ID-s in the paradigm must be compatible with the library project to be attached. Therefore "subset of the current metamodell" is not good enough for the library. I understand your problem, but since the MGA library does not support this kind of attachment I do not want to mislead our users, and accept a library if the metamodell name is different. (The interesting point here: I did not modified anything recently in the MGA library that is relevant to this problem, so I am really interested in how it was worked before; which vesion of GME was capable to do this )
