![]() If the project is kept on a file server, then the share point is likely to be different for different users, and the reference might be located on some computers but not others. If the whole project is moved to a different disk or a different directory on the same computer, then the reference file will not be found. The problem with this approach is that it is completely inflexible. While MicroStation/J (which we now sometimes refer to as "V7") and earlier versions gave the user a way of forcing this result, it has never been the recommended procedure. That is, if the file is c:\activeProjects\project704\structural\steel.dgn, simply store that full string in the master file. The most obvious way of storing the file name is to simply save the full file specification of the reference. The way that the file name is stored has been the source of some user frustration in the past, and has undergone some refinements as MicroStation has evolved. When a file is attached as a reference, the master file to which it is attached must record the name of the file so it can be opened in future sessions. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this article we explore the variety of ways MicroStation V8 can save the file name for reference attachments and the algorithm that it uses to locate references when a DGN is opened. Reference attachments have always been one of MicroStation's most important features. This TechNote was created from an archived 2002 MSM Online Article written by Barry Bentley, Ph.D. ![]()
