Limits of Construction unable to find L chain

Question

Hi all. I am relatively new to using microstation v8i SS2. I understand that it is outdated, but I must use it for this particular project. 
 I am trying to use the limits of construction tool in order to generate slope stakes. I am able to set everything up on the cross-section, but when I hit the apply button, I get the error "Can't find chain L". 
 The cross-section and plan file are in separate folders if it matters. Additionally, the plan DGN file has the original L alignment, so being unable to find it makes no sense. 
 
 This is very frustrating and I was unable to find any solutions. Any ideas? 
 Thanks.

Let's start with... Have you tried deleting your RSC files? Often bits of data get stuck in there and corrupted which can lead to...unexpected...results. 
 Unfortunately, I no longer have SS2 on my computer, so I cannot give you the exact location of the RSC files. I know they are in one of the Geopak specific directories, in the ...\bin\ directory. You may have to do a Search with Windows Explorer to get a hint. 
 The other time I have seen this is when the cross sections were cut with an alignment name, then the alignment was renamed through COGO. I don't know a particularly good quick fix for that. 
 And just to cover everything I can think of quickly, is RDY the Job you are supposed to use? If you click the magnifying glass next to Job, does it take you to your RDY file, or does it take you somewhere else. Even though you can use tools without the Project Manager, I opt for the Manager every time to make sure that the entire project is loaded correctly.
