&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ll love this tip contributed by &lt;em&gt;Rudi Wells&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To display attached references of a design file without having to open MicroStation, do this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make a copy of your MicroStation desktop icon.&lt;br /&gt;Highlight the new icon, do a right click and select &lt;em&gt;Properties&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the &lt;em&gt;Target&lt;/em&gt; field, append &lt;em&gt;-waref&lt;/em&gt; after the &lt;em&gt;ustation.exe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ie: &lt;em&gt;C:\Program Files\Bentley\Program\MicroStation\ustation.exe&amp;quot; -waref&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer onto the new icon.&lt;br /&gt;Then press &lt;em&gt;1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Press &lt;em&gt;3&lt;/em&gt; to exit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note, use the numbers above &lt;em&gt;QWERTYUIOP&lt;/em&gt; on your keyboard, not those on the numberpad. Also, if you want .... you can copy the results to the system clipboard file by clicking on the little &lt;em&gt;Bentley&lt;/em&gt; logo in the top left corner and selecting &lt;em&gt;Edit &amp;gt; Select All&lt;/em&gt; and then press &lt;em&gt;Enter&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This tip uses the &lt;em&gt;-wa &lt;/em&gt;command line switch which specifies an MDL application to start when MicroStation is initialized.&amp;nbsp; In this case, the MDL is &lt;em&gt;ref&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; which is delivered in the &lt;em&gt;.../mdlsys/asneeded/&lt;/em&gt; folder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Update:&amp;nbsp; Testing on MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 indicates that the numerical options have been removed, but listing references still works -- see &lt;a href="/products/microstation/f/273/p/102363/305196#305196"&gt;this forum post&lt;/a&gt; for more information and details regarding this.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;br /&gt;
			To display attached references of a design file without having to open MicroStation, do this:&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Make a copy of your MicroStation desktop icon.&lt;br /&gt;
			Highlight the new icon, do a right click and select &lt;em&gt;Properties&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			In the &lt;em&gt;Target&lt;/em&gt; field, append &lt;em&gt;-waref&lt;/em&gt; after the &lt;em&gt;ustation.exe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			ie: &lt;em&gt;C:\Program Files\Bentley\Program\MicroStation\ustation.exe&amp;quot; -waref&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer onto the new icon.&lt;br /&gt;
			Then press &lt;em&gt;1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Press &lt;em&gt;3&lt;/em&gt; to exit.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
