Hi,
is it possible to set up a batch process enabling 'reference set display' of a particular reference that is live nested into a file? I have tested this manually, but to no avail, but if testing in manually with the file directly referenced in (rather than 'live nested) it seems to work.
thanks
Hi Kieran, what MicroStation version are you using? If you want to set the display status of a nested reference you could try the following, which I tested in Select Series 3 rel. 08.11.09.459.
Assuming we have "MasterFile.dgn" and "Ref_1.dgn" attached to it, with a nested reference called "Ref_2.dgn", the following key-in will turn off "Ref_2.dgn"
reference display OFF Ref_1.dgn->Ref_2.dgn
You can use the same key-in with the ON|OFF|TOGGLE options
I hope this helps
Kieran, I wrote a WiKi article elaborating a bit more the above solution.

Marco, thanks it seems to have done the trick
Just saw this.
I think you can turn off the reference file "Ref_2.dgn" from "Ref_1.dgn" in the above example, and from the "MasterFile.dgn" make sure the "Ref_1.dgn" Attachment Settings - Display Overrides: is set to "Never".
See if that does what you want, I'm still testing things like this and confirmation is helpful. Setting the Display Overrides: to Never will also synchronize the levels that are on/off as well.
