I have several references attached to our work files, let's say the arquitectural and Steel construction between other. but when I make my seed references files for some other references I came out with something like this:
Also, I realice that the content in to this dialog could get copied to some other programs like Excel, that separates the information in colums that is very convenient to edit information, but now, there is any way to edit those references to get at the end something like this:
As you can probably realice, I need to change paths to variables, Descriptions of the models and also a generic scheme of naming on the logical naming to this references/models. Manually takes for me a lot of time to made, there is any other way better way to do it?

Use configuration variables when attaching references. Focus on MS_RFDIR. If you use configuration variables when attaching references, it's easy to change paths without having to edit the attachments.

Looks like you need something like Axiom's RefManager
Yes, I use the configuration variables and a customized ones, this question have diferent aproaches:
This kind of aproach or lists we have it in Excel with the diferent values that are need it, and also try to have the same order (slot number of reference) but make all this manually takes a lot of time and I'm trying to find a faster way to do it. I hope this gets more clear now and somebody with enough experiences could help me to get this done or at least indicate some workaround to make it happen.
Unknown said:our variable Prod_A60, that could mean in some place "C:\Temp\Product\A60" in the meantme in some other place could be "Z:\Microstation\Proyect\Prod\A60\"
How do you determine those folder locations? If it depends on a Windows username, you could test for that in your MicroStation configuration file and set variable Prod_A60 accordingly.
Unknown said:Change the descriptions on the references to English, French or German
Presumably you want to do this dynamically according to the user login, or some other Windows method that determines nationality?
Probably a VBA macro could help solve this problem.

What determines the need for a particular logical name?
