Hi Everyone
To create our 3D models (e.g. Struct_Model.dwg) we reference in an overall model that contains the mechanical and electrical equipment. When we are finished modelling, the overall model reference gets detached.
Now when I open Struct_Model.dgn there is nothing in the reference dialog box. However, if I do a save-as dwg, in the progress dialog box it says 'Loading Mech_Model.dgn' and it iterates through all the files that used to be attached. This makes it very slow.
When I open the file using the -o switch in the command it doesn't happen.
Any ideas why the link is persisting and how to get rid of it?
Thanks
Hello Michael,
Have you tried to open the file in OpenBuildings Designer MicroStation Mode or standalone MicroStation application ?
Thanks & Regards, Arindam Roy
Hi, thanks for the reply, yes I've tried OB in Microstation mode. I've also tried in base Microstation. Both still try to load the unattached models.
Could you please check the value of this config variable MS_REF_MASTERFILELAST_DESIGN for your design file ? By default it should be set as zero.
Thanks, Arindam Roy
Hello Arindam, it is set to zero.
