 I need help to set multiple dgns to the following symbology before I process a batch place text: 
 symbology as follows: 
 
 LV=0 
 C0=0 
 WT=0 
 
 I tried this in my txt command file but no change in dgns. 
 
 Thanks for any advise</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Set active symbology batch process</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/341357?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2015 17:11:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:c80826f4-235f-43c3-8ea5-e148e0d57dac</guid><dc:creator>Joseph Jadie</dc:creator><description>Thanks a lot Leonard, it worked perfectly!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Set active symbology batch process</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/341255?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2015 07:58:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:bc38fd7d-76eb-4118-adf7-8f2ad73bb398</guid><dc:creator>Leonard Jones</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The reference file suggestion by Lorys is a better option if the text, symbology and location is always going to be the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case you need the key-in, here is it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will place the text in &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;Default&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot; level&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;lv=0;co=0;wt=0;lc=0;active font simplex;textstyle active none;active tnj LC;Place Text;XXX;aa=0;th=0.08;tw=0.08;XY=1.46,2.15;choose element&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will place the text in level &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;test&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;active level test; co=0;wt=0;lc=0;active font simplex;textstyle active none;active tnj LC;Place Text;XXX;aa=0;th=0.08;tw=0.08;XY=1.46,2.15;choose element&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without seeing your example files &amp;nbsp;its a bit hard to see why its not working&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I think you have to set the &amp;nbsp;active file &amp;nbsp;level &amp;nbsp;you want the &amp;nbsp;text to land on &amp;nbsp; so the keyin is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;active level = level name&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so in your case&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;active level=0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;dont use the &amp;nbsp;level number &amp;nbsp;use the &amp;nbsp;level name &amp;nbsp;I assumed the name was 0 &amp;nbsp;from your post but you can work out what you need..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if you have used by level in your &amp;nbsp;files then the &amp;nbsp;colour and weight should be automatic ..... if not&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;then use&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;active &amp;nbsp;color=0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;active weight = 0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this should force things nicely..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;personally I would use build &amp;nbsp;macro and run the macro from the batch processor...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tested these keyins and they &amp;nbsp;do change the active symbology &amp;nbsp;over the bylevel method...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT XXX&lt;br /&gt;
XY=1.46,2.15&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT AS-BUILT&lt;br /&gt;
XY=1.84,2.15&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT 23861&lt;br /&gt;
XY=6.63,2.15&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT JJ&lt;br /&gt;
XY=7.24,2.15&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT KRW&lt;br /&gt;
XY=7.58,2.15&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT WK&lt;br /&gt;
XY=8.03,2.15&lt;br /&gt;
PLACE TEXT 15-10-05&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.) To have this text placed in the borders consitently in the following symbology and settings:&lt;br /&gt;

That way we may be able to understand the exact workflow you are attempting to perform and what changes you are trying to make. It would also be helpful if you could provide the version of MicroStation being used.
