Yes. The previous folks who were managing MS wanted to lock a lot of stuff down and used the Locks.cfg to accomplish that. We are trying to figure out everything that they did, and where they did it. The funny thing is that it just happened to change one day and we are not sure how that happened.

Thanks for your help! It is much appreciated.

God bless,

David

No problem, you are welcome. Also I wanted to mention that Locks.cfg seems to be a configuration that was created by whoever is managing the application.

Yes I believe you found your issue. The capability that you mentioned hides the DGN formatting and shows it as DWG formatting. The dropdown lists are produced programmatically you can't edit them.
