Upgrading from Microstation/Irasb J to Microstation/Irasb V8.05

I am trying to upgrade from Microstation/Irasb J  to Microstation/Irasb V08.05.  When I try to open the dgn/cit file the cit file doesn't open.  The raster in the Microstation J file does not show as a reference file in the Raster Manager dialog.  I am being told that I will have to go into each drawing and save the raster as a reference in order for Microstation V08.05 to open the raster automatically.  Is this correct or is there some variable that can be created?

  • The CIT should still be attached to the DGN via the Raster Manager.  In some cases, CITs would be scaled incorrectly during this upgrade of the DGN file.  The following configuration variable may help with that:   MS_INGRFILE_REGISTRATION = 1

    If this doesn't correct the problem, detach the image in the Raster Manager and reattach it.
