Hey all!
I am still new to Micro station and VERY new to Batch Process. I wanted to find a way to change the color of one, or more, levels in a reference that is in multiple files. The basic way I was taught to do this in Microstation without batch process was to go into the level manager, select the reference file, then select the level(s) and change the color there. I have read that I want to use the color override keyin to get the result I need but I haven't had any luck. The one I have below was to try and change all the levels in the file but it did nothing.
I am still a noob at this so if anyone has any good youtube tutorials or blogs that I should read up on please let me know. Any help is really appreciated.
level set override color on file:RPLN-EX.dgn"* *level set override color 168 file:RPLN-EX.dgn* *
When you say "haven't had any luck", do you mean that the level override hasn't changed, or that the level doesn't look any different on screen? I'm just checking, because I've set a bunch of overrides without setting the view attribute for them on - I chased that around for an embarrassingly long time.
If you open one of your design files and go to the key-in window to enter your command, what result do you get there? Do you get an error message, or do you get nothing, or do you get something (just not what you expected)?
What happens if you try the key-in
level set override color 168 file:RPLN-EX.dgn all
?

I do not see any change, how can I change the view attributes?
And i plugged it in the keyin and still nothing, that I can see anyway. No errors at least
I am using just the level set override color off all, works great on either Override or bylevel. My need it to only turn off say Level 2 override color or 2 & 3 I could really use the other ones on. I hope it is ok to reply with a question on the same issue ?

level set override color on all, works perfect, but you manually have to press 4,1 or click the paint brush. I tried addubg the line activedesignfile.rewritelevels
it made no difference ?? I also tried the ; reset at the end of the command, no better. I am missing something simple. Tomorrow may try recording a macro VBA and see what it fills in (c; God
bless any and all for the assistance.
I'm sorry - I never got the hang of Positional Mapping shortcuts - what tool is 4,1 (or the paintbrush??)Are you writing a VBA macro or are you creating a batch process command file?
Are you not seeing a change in the view, or are you not seeing a change in the level manager?
Hi i am using same script to change override color of a level named "Level 1" it says cannot find level. Here is my script:
level set override color 3 file:LEVELS.dgn Level 1
Please tell where I am making a mistake?

You could try putting "quotes" around the level name. Perhaps it doesn't like the space, and needs quote marks to understand the entire name.
