Very good, thanks!

Hi Thomas, I'm interested to know what types of content are in your ABD DGNLIBs?

Well - first answer is  - I don't know :) as opening a dgnlib doesn't show what is in it.

But Text- and Dimstyles, Levels are my first thoughts. Nothing elaborate I think.

Parts, seeds for BuildingsViews are in other files.

I saw a post recently that suggested that Explorer might show what is in there. Haven't tried yet.

Hi Thomas,

Try this:

Open your DGNLIB read only (to avoid any other library content being copied in from the dataset)

Open Explorer:

In the File panel expand any relevant items in the list to see DGNLIB content:

The Resources panel lists all resources from DGNLIBs included by the configuration, right-click and click Details to see more information about ant group or individual item:

Open dgnlibs read only is probably a good practise.

And beeing in that file the Explorer shows what is in the file. That is correct. But not the settings for a dimstyle.

 That is looking from the 'inside'. I am talking about seeing it from the 'outside'.

My problem is when say I am annotating a drawing and suddenly see a dimension that comes in on wrong level. I can go to Dimenstyles dialog and see if it matches the library or not.

But not which library (if I am undertanding this correctly).

If the dialog popup showed config vars and name and path the to the dgnlib it would solve the problem. Or best - option to open that dgnlib!

I have solved this by having only one dgnlib for everything. That works for me. But is not the idea with configuring ustn.
