Keyin to make a nested attachment a direct attachment
 
Here's the scoop from Barry Bentley:

Specify the nested reference you want to make a direct attachment by giving the "path" to it. For example, if your master file has A.dgn attached to it, and B.dgn is a nested reference of A.dgn, then the syntax of the keyin would be:

reference makedirect A.dgn->B.dgn

Since this keyin requires a datapoint to accept the change, slap a point ab on the end of it.
