For example, if your master file has &lt;em&gt;A.dgn&lt;/em&gt; attached to it, and &lt;em&gt;B.dgn&lt;/em&gt; is a nested reference of &lt;em&gt;A.dgn&lt;/em&gt;, then the syntax of the keyin would be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;reference makedirect A.dgn-&amp;gt;B.dgn&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since this keyin requires a datapoint to accept the change, slap a &lt;em&gt;point ab&lt;/em&gt; on the end of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

			Specify the nested reference you want to make a direct attachment by giving the &amp;quot;path&amp;quot; to it. For example, if your master file has &lt;em&gt;A.dgn&lt;/em&gt; attached to it, and &lt;em&gt;B.dgn&lt;/em&gt; is a nested reference of &lt;em&gt;A.dgn&lt;/em&gt;, then the syntax of the keyin would be:&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;em&gt;reference makedirect A.dgn-&amp;gt;B.dgn&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Since this keyin requires a datapoint to accept the change, slap a &lt;em&gt;point ab&lt;/em&gt; on the end of it.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;

			&lt;td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
