Manipulating a Viewport's outline changes its colour to black/white

Hi,

I'm a MicroStation user in an ACAD company.  Our company standard uses a non-printing yellow (byLayer) border for all viewports. When I open a DWG and either copy or manipulate the shape of a viewport, the viewport border changes to black/white.  My CAD Manager is not pleased.

Microstation doesn't allow the colour of a viewport to be shown or changed back to yellow in the Element Information dialog, or using the Change Element Attributes tool.  Opening the resulting file in ACAD, it is possible to change the colour again.

Is there any way of preventing MicroStation from changing the viewport colour automatically, or at least allowing the colour to be changed back again?

Regards,

Mark
