Keyin to set reference adjustment colour
With thanks to Barry Bentley for sharing this tip in the discussion groups: MicroStation V8 - Rather than using the Reference dialog Settings > Adjust Colours use this keyin: reference adjustcolors value, saturation, printadjustment, valueAndSatForallColors, hue [references] where: printadjustment, valueAndSatForAllColors and hue are all optional. value is the value adjustment from 0 to 100. saturation is the saturation adjustment from 0 to 100. printadjustment sets the "Print Adjusted Colors" toggle and must be either 0 or 1 (or leave it blank to avoid changing it). valueAndSatForAllColors sets the radio button on the top of the Value and Saturation sliders. 1 makes all colors the same. hueSetting sets the hue from 0 to 360. It only matters if is set to 1. references is the file name or logical name of the reference you want to affect. '*' or 'all' applies the change to all. If you leave this argument off and have the reference dialog box up, it affects the references selected. For example: In the video below, we're setting all of the colours in reference to 30% grey with this keyin: reference adjustcolors 30,0,,1
