Hi All,
I have been working with PowerDraft V8i for a little while now, but I have an issue where all of my levels show different colours in my sheet view, to what I have set in my design file. In addition, when viewing the levels of the design file which has been referenced into the sheet file, all of the levels are greyed out and so cannot be edited:
The weird thing is that I can view and edit level colours/line type/line weight by level or by overrides in the model file. Also, the levels which are live within the sheet file are also editable, but they display correctly anyway.
Lastly, when in the sheet file, default display, the design file levels are not greyed out and are listed correctly...but display incorrectly.
I hope I have managed to explain this clearly enough, but please let me know if you need me to clarify anything. Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide and I look forward to hearing from you!

This is because these are nested reference. Set the MS_LEVEL_EDIT_NESTED_ATTACHMENT_LEVELS variable to a value of 1.

could this variable be done temporarily as a keyin rather than change the workspace config.. I suspect most of us would not be allowed by the administrator to edit the config file...
