Hello,
Glad to hear your issue is now resolved.
As stated by Jan Slegr, I hope you meant xy=0,0,0 and not xy-0,0,0 as your "confirmation data point”!
I am attaching some information on generating keyin scripts that may help when creating any future scripts :

Please be aware that there is also a MicroStation Programming forum for questions and discussions about developing with MicroStation.

Derval Canny.

Hi,

I guess there is a typo in your post and you use xy=0,0,0 and not xy-0,0,0 ;-)

You can also use xy=#,# that repeats the last data point. An advantage of this key-in it doesn't work with absolute coordinates. In the discussed situation where only "confirmation data point" is required there is no difference, but in many scenarios the absolute coordinates cannot be used.

With regards,

Jan

I answered my own question. My final script looked something like this.
REFERENCE MAKEDIRECT cn_compile.dgn->*
XY-0,0,0
REFERENCE DETACH cn_compile.dgn
