Microstation Key-in: Attach Reference with live nesting

Hello,

I am new to MicroStation V8i. I am trying to use a batch process to reference one file to a set a drawings. My issue lies in the script for the key-in.

This is what I have found so far:

Key-in: RF= [configuration_variable:]<filename> [,model_name] [,logical_name] [,description] [,view_name] [,scale] [,nesting] [,ON|OFF]

I'd appreciate any insight on how to use this command. I am not sure what entries are valid for each field. 

How would I use this command to reference a file with live nesting on and everything else as default?

  • Hi Abhin,

    I agree with Tuan that suggested you this article.

    As it is explained you need at least five arguments to gain what you want, every comma needs to separate what you want to tell to set to Microstation:

    • name of file
    • model name
    • logical name
    • description
    • view name (* for coincident and # for coincident world)
    • scale
    • nesting (if you write nothing it means no nesting; if you write a number is the number of the live nesting)

    if I have a reference called test.dgn and you want to have a logical name test, as description RFtest, as view coincident world, as scale 1:1, as live nesting 1. You could you the key-in in this way:

    RF=test.dgn,,test,RFtest,#,1:1,1

    I hope this could help you.

    Regards,

    Benedetta
