I have created a custom set Part & Family's and also a DGNLIB with all the matching levels required for each family part.
But when I open the "Family/Part Editor" all the family part have "(Non Existent Level)" behand them but the levels are present in the file from the DGNLIB
Using OpenBuildings Designer Update 8
Hi David,
What is your DGNLIB called?
The default values for variable MS_DGNLIBLIST_LEVELS are set to Levels*.dgnlib, any DGENLIB in these locations whose filename follows that pattern will be included. Other filenames will not.
The design intention is that DGNLIBS can be used for their intended purpose via their name without configuration changes.
Regards
Marc
The issues is not the DGNLIB, but the DGNLIB files name is "Levels_ONYX.dgnlib"
I can see in the level library in the Level Manager, but the levels are always (Non Existent Level).
The only time the level is correct in the list is if it has been an active level.
I think a complete misunderstanding of the issue here.
We are trying to assign levels to parts within the dataset editor. If the level does not exist locally in the file then we are not able to select and define that level to the part.
Having to create an element on a level, to allow that level to then be assigned to a part is just stupid if working as designed.
The levels exist in libraries for a reason, so we dont have copies of every level in every file. The non existent levels exist in the level manager in the active file, but cannot be assigned to parts.
As I said in my previous post, this works as it should when working locally, but when the dataset is placed on a network, then it doesn't.
Has this been addressed?
If the Level is located in a loaded dgnlib defined by MS_DGNLIBLIST_LEVELS it should not show as Non-Existent. I am seeing this in the latest Update 9 version.
No. Not in U9 anyway
Just when I thought I had things sorted.
Does anyone have an SR number for this?

OK, a bit to update:
We agree the 'non-existent level' needs better labelling.
The lack of colour when using 'bylevel' needs to be fixed.
Hope that helps anyone else coming across the issue.
