Print Preparation levels showing up in BentleyMap V8i

Nick;

I suspect that you are talking about the print border levels, as defined int ehparameters for the print preparation ? From a basic seed file, these levels are generally not there, untill you run the print preparation tool, and insert the graphics into a drawing. Since the levels were not there, whne inserting the graphics, the levels were created. If yo no longer have graphics ion those levels, you can just remove them from the file using the level manager.

I get the same thing when I use MicroStation V8i.

Please have a look at a post I made in the MicroStation V8i forum;

I can't remove the levels.

Nick.

Is this linked in any way to my seed file?

Most generally the DGNLIB set up to define the levels is where the level definition comes from.

The additional levels seem to be coming from a PrintPreparation.dgnlib file. 

I renamed the PrintPreparation.dgnlib and when I restarted MSBM V8i and MS V8i the additional levels no longer show.

What is this PrintPreparation.dgnlib for? Why is it activated? What configuration actually sets this up in MicroStation?

Thanks,

Nick.

The PrintPreparation dgnlib is used by the PrintPreparation tool that comes with Microstation ( and is extended, somewhat by Bentley Map). This uses a seriues of DGNLIBs to store the definitions of print sheet models, north arrows, scales, text styles, levels, and sheet border cells for generating print sets.
