Establish Relationships on a MicroStation Reference File - Intergraph Smart 3D - Help - Hexagon

You can establish relationships between elements in the current document and elements in a MicroStation reference file that you inserted.

To use this functionality, you must install the Translators option.

1. Place a MicroStation reference file in a document. You can use one of several methods.

   • Place MicroStation Information in the Document

   • Place AutoCAD Information in the Document

   You should set Maintain Relationships on the Tools menu. If you want to see the relationship handles, set Relationship Handles on the Tools menu.

2. Establish relationships between elements in the object and elements in the same manner you would any elements.

   • Make Elements Equal Make Elements Parallel

If you change the position of elements in a MicroStation document that is linked to your current document and then update the link in the document, the relationships are no longer valid.
