Hi Josef,

does this keyin command "reference attach" work and opens the dialog window?

please try to rename your prefs folder and test if it will work with a new upf file. If that works, that would mean that your original upf file is corrupted or has some issues.

The instructions in following wiki link are for MicroStation but the keyin command works in Powerview as well: $ % explorer $(_USTN_HOMEPREFS)

Yeah, on Microstation V8i it's - 'Workspace' > 'Configuration' from the context menu at the top. In Microstation Connect it's - 'File' > 'Settings' > 'Configuration' > 'Configuration Variables'.

In your config variables, what is in your path for 'MS_RFDIR'?

Hi Josef, which version of Microstation are you using? Also, when re-opening the drawing and checking the references dialog box, is the attachment still showing but in red? or is it not there at all? make sure the path hasn't changed to the reference, that it's not been moved or renamed and also that the letter of the drive it's being pulled from is not different on your computer as starting points.
