&lt;p&gt;I think you misunderstood the x86.&amp;nbsp; That means a Windows operating system intended for Intel x86 32-bit architecture (e.g. a &lt;em&gt;Pentium&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;iCore&lt;/em&gt;).&amp;nbsp; It does not mean a 64-bit OS, which seems to be your interpretation&amp;nbsp; 8-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Attach raster with huge size</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/293054?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:05:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:79ee93ba-93f2-40b6-935f-0d670b09ed46</guid><dc:creator>Jason Gingrich</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Try setting these 2 system environment variables and see if the file will attach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First you will need to create a folder on a drive where you have &amp;nbsp;plenty of free space. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then set the following system environment variables. &amp;nbsp;Go under your Start Menu\Settings\Control Panel\System\EnvironmentVariables:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A dialog box should come up with 2 white menus. &amp;nbsp;Below the bottom one that is labeled &amp;quot;system variables&amp;quot; select &amp;quot;new&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Variable Name:HMRTempDirectory &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Variable Value: point this to the empty folder you created. (ex. c:\temp\)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Select Ok then select &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; again to add the second variable&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Variable Name: MS_RASTER_LOADMODE &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Variable Value: 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure you reboot your computer after setting the variables.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below are other values you can set for MS_RASTER_LOADMODE if you wish to try them instead&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the folder that you create some ctiff files may appear. &amp;nbsp;They are caching files to help some images display. &amp;nbsp;You can go in and delete these files at any time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would not delete a ctiff to an image you are currently working with because when you open the dgn it will create the ctiff file again upon display and take longer to display.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In V8.5, I suggest setting the load mode with the environment variable MS_RASTER_LOADMODE = 3.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To select the Load Mode you want, you can set the MS_RASTER_LOADMODE environment variable. This variable works since version 08.00.03.18 of MS v8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The different Load Modes are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;0 = LOADMODE_AUTOMATIC 	( The Internet files are loaded by the CACHE loader)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;				( The Mr.SID files are loaded by the STANDARD loader)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;				( For all other file formats, if there is enough memory we use the RAM loader. If not, we use the STANDARD loader)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1 = LOADMODE_CACHE	( Creates a cache file for all file formats)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 = LOADMODE_RAM		( Loads the images entirely in memory)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3 = LOADMODE_STANDARD	( Loads the images the same way as Active Image does it)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	( If the size of the image is &amp;lt;= 524288 bytes, &amp;nbsp;we load the image in memory. Else, we add a STRIP adaptor for 1Bit files and a TILE adaptor for the others. If the image has a sequential access, we add a cache file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5 = LOADMODE_THRESHOLD	( Loads the images in memory or create a cache file, depending of the size of the file)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			( The threshold depends of the file format.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			- Monochrome RLE = 1 200 000 000 bytes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			- Monochrome = 150 000 bytes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			- Grayscale = 75 000 Bytes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			- Palette = 75 000 bytes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			- RGB = 75 000 bytes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;				**** These values are the default values and can be modified via mdlRaster_systemConfigurationInfoSet( )&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It may take a while for the cache file to generate with such a large image but hopefully it will do it. &amp;nbsp;Once the cache file is there the display should be faster the next time you open the dgn file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;please be aware that the version of Microstation you are using is not certified to run with Windows x86.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This may be the reason you are encountering issues with attaching your raster file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first MicroStation certified for Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit) is MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A discussion on this issue can be found here:&lt;/p&gt;
