These attachments are independent of the seed file resolution and will display in the correct location for any seed file (even with older versions of MicroStation).Ĭorrecting Existing Attachments (fixreforigins.ma) In MicroStation 8.5, the reference file attachment and manipulation tools have been corrected such that the location of any reference created or modified with the 8.5 tools is fixed and will not change if the seed file resolution is altered. 12000 units per foot is equivalent to 1000 per inch). Note that only the effective resolution value is important (i.e.

The resolution that is important is the value specified in the 'Advanced Unit Settings' dialog when the seed file is opened in MicroStation. The seed file referred to above is the one that is listed as 'DGN Seed File' circled in the 'DWG Open Options' dialog box below. Such reference attachments display in the correct location as long as the same translation seed file that was in effect at attachment time is used, but using a translation seed file of a different resolution will cause the references to be dislocated. Coincident attachments are not subject to this problem unless the reference is subsequently clipped. The problem described above occurs only when DWG files are attached as references to DGN master files using MicroStation V8.0 or V8.1. In this case, changing the resolution of that seed file (or substituting a file with different resolution for the seed file) could cause the references to move to different locations - sometimes to the extent that the graphics disappear completely as the geometry is moved to a location that is outside of the reference clip boundary. However, in certain circumstances, MicroStation Versions 8.0 and 8.1 produced attachments of DWG files referenced to DGN files that were affected by the resolution of the DGN file used as the seed file for opening DWG files. In general, reference attachments should depend only on the data within the master file and the reference file, and should not depend on outside settings or auxiliary files.
