&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attach a file to itself faster!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To self-reference a file a bit faster try this. If you&amp;#39;re using the old MicroStation dialogs, such as those found in MicroStation 2004 Edition, select &lt;em&gt;File&lt;/em&gt; from the &lt;em&gt;Attach Reference&lt;/em&gt; dialog. The first entry is the open design file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="343" width="237" src="/askIngaPics/Tip148.jpg" align="left" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When using the Windows dialogs, such as those in MicroStation V8i, select the first item in the drop down behind the &lt;em&gt;File History &lt;/em&gt;icon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-04/8713.file-history.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;To bypass the &lt;em&gt;Attach Reference&lt;/em&gt; dialog all together, simply keyin&lt;em&gt; RF=.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;, it just can&amp;#39;t get any easier than that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AskInga Tip #148&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
