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.

Change that definition to...
MS_RFDIR = P:/CML AS BUILTS/SE2/
You can define multiple sub-folders like this...
MS_RFDIR = P:/CML AS BUILTS/SE2/ MS_RFDIR > P:/CML AS BUILTS/SE2/US/

You're assigning a configuration variable (MS_RFDIR) in one of your configuration files. When everything is working right, the correct place would be in your project configuration file (*.pcf). You will find configuration files in MicroStation's Workspace folder.
For testing purposes, you could edit your user configuration file (*.ucf). Configuration files are plain text files that you edit with a plain text editor such as Windows Notepad (not Microsoft Word). You can also edit configuration variables through the MicroStation Configuration menu.
