Specifying on/off setting for 'Treat Reference as element for manipulation' option for attached references through keyin
Many of the reference file parameters that can be set in the References dialog, also can be set with REFERENCE SET key-ins.To do this keyin 'REFERENCE SET TREATASELEMENT= on or off'. The reference file needs to be pre-selected in reference dialog or the reference file name can be specified in keyin.The value can be set to 1 or 0, On or Off or even True or False.When specifying the reference a “file_spec” can be used, which may be the file name or the logical name of the reference. The “file-spec” format can be a series of file-names separated by the “->” delimeter, where the series of file-names represent the path to a nested reference.
i.e. “ref1.dgn->ref2.dgn->ref3.dgn->ref4.dgn” represents the path to a nested reference (ref4.dgn). Additionally, you may use “all” or “*” to signify all attached references.Other Reference key-ins include:REFERENCE SET DISPLAY= Turns on/off the display of the defined references. Equivalent to the Display (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET SNAP= Turns on/off the ability to snap to the defined references. Equivalent to the Snap (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET LOCATE= Turns on/off the ability to select elements in the defined references. Equivalent to the Locate (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET SCALELINESTYLES= Defines whether or not custom line styles are scaled by the reference scale for the defined references. Equivalent to the Scale Line Styles by Reference (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET DISPLAYRASTERREFS= Defines whether or not raster references display for the defined references. Equivalent to the Display Raster References (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET PRIORITY= (2D only) Sets the display priority to be applied to the reference. References with higher priority display in front of others.REFERENCE SET TREATASELEMENT= Defines whether or not the defined references may be manipulated with the standard tools. Equivalent to the Treat Attachment as Element for Manipulation (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET USELIGHTS= Defines whether or not light sources in the defined references are considered for rendering. Equivalent to the Use Lights (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET IGNOREWHENNESTING= Controls the display of nested attachments when working in a DWG or DXF file, where live nesting is always on and there is no limit to nest depth. Equivalent to the Ignore Attachment When Live Nesting (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET PLOTAS3D= (PDF printer driver only) When on and the PDF printer driver is used, the reference is plotted as 3D data in Universal 3D (U3D) format. Equivalent to the Plot As 3D (PDF) (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET REVISION= can be either the revision number, such as 1.1, or a revision tag.REFERENCE SET ROTATECLIPPING= Used to set reference clip rotation to V7 mode (OFF), where the clip boundary is view dependent, or to V8 mode (ON), where the clip boundary is maintained in model coordinates.REFERENCE SET PRINTCOLORADJUSTMENT= Where reference colors have been adjusted, sets whether the adjusted (1) or the original (0) colors print. Equivalent to the Print Adjusted Colors setting in the Adjust Reference Colors dialog.REFERENCE SET TRANSPARENCY= Sets the transparency value of the defined references. Equivalent to the Transparency (icon) in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET NESTDEPTH= Sets the nesting depth for the defined references. Equivalent to the Depth setting in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET NEWLEVELDISPLAY=FROMCONFIG|ALWAYS|NEVER Sets when new levels will display in the defined references. Equivalent to the New Level Display setting in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET NESTOVERRIDES=ALLOW|ALWAYS|NEVER Sets how overrides are treated in nested references for the defined references. Equivalent to the overrides option menu in the References dialog.REFERENCE SET GLOBALLSSCALE=MASTER|NONE|REFERENCE|BOTH Defines how custom line styles are scaled for the defined references. Equivalent to the Global Line Style Scale setting in the Attachment Settings dialog.REFERENCE SET SYNCHWITHSAVEDVIEW= If the reference source is a saved view, turns on/off the synchronized with saved view check box.
