&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to view and search all text strings that exist in a design file/files?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would I have to output everything to a .txt file first?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My end goal is to be able to search for a string of text and then be able to tell which design file that text is present on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have two users, one using Microstation CONNECT Edition Update 15 and the other using&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 4).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is a file that when opened in its current state by the CONNECT user has certain levels in global and view display turned off. When this file is opened by the SELECTseries user these levels are switched on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Is this just an unavoidable side effect of one file being opened by different versions of the software or is there something else at play here?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

If I try to move, rotate, etc.. the entire selection set then, once accepted, not all of the elements will have been moved. I can see that, after accepting, only the elements that moved are still highlighted. This occurs whether I manually select the elements or select by category (level, type, etc..). There is nothing special about the elements and it can happen even if all the elements are on the same level and of the same type. Additionally, it seems random which elements are affected even if I undo and repeat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s as if there is a maximum number of elements that can be selected and then manipulated.

&lt;p&gt;I have searched the forums but cannot seem to find an answer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a variable anywhere that will set the default directory of the open dialog box to that of the current design file?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or will this have to be achieved with a key-in?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is that really the only option?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were assured in a Service Request to Bentley that there would be/was an additional option to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;turn it OFF, and use the user&amp;#39;s currently Active WorkSet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; when the DGN is opened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We needed both options, and have been waiting for MS U15 to provide some relief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could someone at Bentley let us know&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;exactly&lt;/strong&gt; what the option(s) really are?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have two .ma files which I used to utilize when using Microstation V8i.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One titled modz.ma would flatten an entire 3D design file&amp;nbsp;by setting the z value for all elements to 0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other title makesnap.ma which would make all elements in a design file snappable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These .ma files were not compiled by myself and I believe I obtained them through the helpful people on this forum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have now upgraded to connect version and any time I try to load these .ma files I get the error message&amp;nbsp;File &amp;quot;xxx.MA contains an old version of the application xxx&amp;quot;. Is there any way I can make them compatible or can it only be done by the person who originally created the .ma file?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the moment it does a visible edges process as soon as I print it. (I also do not want it to print as a 3d pdf)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If&amp;nbsp;I select rasterised in the print dialog&amp;nbsp;it works but then stuffs up all my other views and rasterises the entire drawing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems like a really simple thing to do but I can&amp;#39;t get it to work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My current workaround is to take a screenshot and attach it as a jpg to my sheet which works but will&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now when I run this, all works well and I am prompted with a &amp;quot;save as&amp;quot; window with the correct directory and filename. So in essence all I have to do is click the save button.&lt;/p&gt;
