Attachment Settings dialog box

Sets attachment information for the selected reference. The name of the selected reference DGN file is shown in the title bar. Opens when a filename is double-clicked in the dialog box's list box. Except where noted below, its controls are analogous to those in the Reference Attachment Settings dialog box.

Attachment Settings dialog box for references

Browse

Opens the Reattach Reference dialog box, which is used to select the reference. The controls are analogous to those in the Open dialog box (File > Open).

Display

Turns the view of a reference on or off.

Snap

If on, allows you to snap to elements in a particular reference, when the reference is attached.

Locate

Controls whether elements in a reference can be identified.

True Scale

If on, units in the active model align one to one with units in the referenced model. For example, if the units in the active model are inches and the units in the referenced model are meters, meters are converted to inches so the elements are referenced in at the same relative size.

Scale Line Styles

If on, custom line style components (for example dashes) are scaled by the Scale factors. If off, custom line style components are not scaled.

Clip Back

Sets the back clipping plane for a 3D referenced model.

Clip Front

Sets the front clipping plane for a 3D referenced model.

Display Raster References

If on, raster references will display in the master model.

Ignore Attachments When Live Nesting

If on, this ensures that if the current attachment becomes a nested reference, it is ignored.

Use Lights

If on, source lighting cells located in references are used in processing for rendering.

OK

Accepts the new attachment information and closes the dialog box.

Cancel

Discards any changes and closes the dialog box.
