&lt;td align="left" colspan="2" valign="top"&gt;With thanks to &amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Barry Bentley&lt;/em&gt; for sharing this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MicroStation V8 - You need at least five arguments to the &lt;em&gt;RF=&lt;/em&gt; command to keep it from asking you for more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;RF=file_name, model, logical_name, description, saved_view&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use &lt;em&gt;*&lt;/em&gt; for coincident and &lt;em&gt;#&lt;/em&gt; for coincident world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to attach &lt;em&gt;RockyMountainHouse.dgn&lt;/em&gt; coincidentaly using the logical &lt;em&gt;map&lt;/em&gt; the keyin would be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;RF=RockyMountainHouse.dgn,,MAP,,*&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AskInga Tip #391&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another example from the forums:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I attach a reference with a keyin and bypass the &lt;em&gt;Reference Attachment Settings&lt;/em&gt; dialog?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The keyin to attach a reference is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RF=[configuration_variable:]filename[,model_name][,logical_name][,description][,view_name][,scale][,nesting][,on|off]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You need at least five arguments to the RF= command to keep it from asking you for more information. If you don&amp;#39;t have all the options defined in the keyin, you&amp;#39;ll be presented with the Reference Attachment Settings dialog and then have to click OK. To &amp;quot;bypass&amp;quot; or ignore an option just use a comma. &amp;quot;,&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, the following keyin will attach the default model of TEST.DGN without having to click OK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RF=TEST.DGN,,,,,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that you need 5 commas to get past the attachment dialog and OK button.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
