Does anyone know if there is a keyin is to attach a raster reference file in Microstation? I need the keyins to attach them both fixed and interactive.
Thanks

The key-in for the dialog box is
MDL KEYIN REF DIALOG REFERENCE
.
You could set one of the F keys to this or make a button.

But I'm not sure how to default right to the raster interface for each option. I did a browse of "ref.ma" and IT seems like the key-ins are
.
(rasterAttachType.Interactive)
(rasterAttachType.Fixed)
.
As to how you combine the two as one sentence to do what you wish ,,,is a lost to me.
.
Hopefully the "dialog box" button or key save some time.
Sorry.
Maybe someone else in here might be able to take it from this point and fill in the missing pieces.

Rich,

Thanks for the response. What I am looking for is a keyin to use in a macro to attach a raster reference file. I know the keyin to attach a reference file is "rf=" but am not aware of a similar keyin to attach a raster reference file. I need to be able to attach the raster reference file both interactively and fixed.

Any help is appreciated.

Dude,
I did some combinations/ trial & error...
AND I GOT IT!

TYPE the following:
RASTER ATTACH FIXED

RASTER ATTACH INTERACTIVE

The raster reference dialog box came right up.

Hope this helps you out with your macro.
Let me know...
Rich
