HI,
i have total 67 layers.when i can copy data from different file. layers quantity will be increase. Any solution that i can lock layers quantity. please guide me.
Level Locks will only lock the level and all elements within, but you can still copy elements though elements increase.
I believe the best way for that is to work with Change Attributes. This way you can manage which element goes to which level.
As work progress keep an eye in Level Manager to check elements sum in each level and manage through this:
Hope this helps.

For that we can always use the powerful Make Copy from Change Attributes:
This copy the selected elements from the reference that you want to your file and place them on the needed output level, without creating the original elements level.
There are a couple of things that can be done
set up company workspace of project standards , in that you can create a dgnlib with only the controlled Authorised level names and in the workspace config you can further specify a variable that no new levels can be created by users , this will enforce or ensure your standards but will also drive some people NUTS with why cant I copy those elements from one ref file into the active.. hence publication of standards documentation and training are essential... you can also teach your users to use CSV remapping or ask the Administrator so that you can export the levels you need to acceptable level names rather than just trying to copy wholesale levels and elements....
