Reference wont display after closing file

I have created a model that has all of my line work in it called MASTER. Then I create a NEW model and reference the MASTER file. It shows up and works fine. But when I close my NEW model, and re-open it, my MASTER reference is red. Then I have to re-attach it. This happens with every attachment in my NEW model.

The NEW model, and the MASTER are in the same folder on my server.

I have tried the "Save Relative Path" option when I am attaching the MASTER, but after I select "Open", the reference doesn't come through. It says "File not found".

The odd thing is that I have an aerial image referenced in .dgn format that does stay referenced when I close. It is two folders up from where the MASTER and NEW models are on the server.

I have tried "Save Settings".

What the heck am I missing here?

  • I can find nothing wrong with your files, I was able to self ref your model into your sheet file, I was able to ref either models to each other .. however a lot of ref files are missing

    and  I assume the  missing  photo.dgn  has a raster ( air photo) attached to it via the raster manager not the  ref manager.. then it in turn is attached as aref file in the ref manager  with NESTING set to on at least 1 deep..

    I have refed each into each other and also attached the model to the sheet  and left it that way for you to look at...

    I think the issues are work flow related if you have any  coworkers  more experienced with mstn let them watch your work flow and see  whats happening..
