Hello,
I need to reattach multiple xrefs, maybe 10 per drawing, with 1000 or more drawings.
The xrefs display red, and simply right clicking and reloading doesn't work, it says file does not need to be reloaded.
Is there a way to re attach multiple xrefs quickly?
Should the xrefs be contained in the same folder as the dwgs? this is the current set up I think, the xrefs are contained as multiple copies in each particular drawing type folder, not a separate xref folder.
Previous offices I have worked in have had a separate xref folder, with the path specified.
Should the xrefs be in separate folder and a path specified? If so how do I do this?
when I reattach them, do I pick
coincident
coincident world
or interactive?
what scale?
thanks in advance
Andre

You mention XRefs and DWG files, but you don't mention any Bentley product.
Tell us what version of MicroStation you are using.

MS_RFDIR — spelling is important!

MS_RFDIR has been stable and reliable for MicroStation's lifetime (i.e. several decades).
Hi Andre :
MS_RFDIR will not pick the sub folder automatically. All the folders including the sub folder should be set.
e.g.MS_RFDIR = P:\CML AS BUILTS\SE2\MS_RFDIR > P:\CML AS BUILTS\SE2\US\MS_RFDIR > P:\CML AS BUILTS\SE2\US\SE2-US-10000\
