You can check this by opening the Reference file dialog to see what references you have.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/709752?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 May 2022 05:07:48 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:537e7c41-faee-4c8e-a283-4b4f049ff38bGP<p>Both the elements are in the same file , there is no external reference file.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/709517?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 02 May 2022 15:18:45 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:bb252688-f749-4e67-acd5-63222b23eb9fMaryB<p>It means that whatever element you are trying to manipulate is not in the active file. It is in a files that is referenced into your active file. If you want to do anything to that element, you will need to open the file it is drawn in.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
