I'm sorry all... I didn't check my path! I was missing one underscore. It is working fine now.

Thank you all for the help, it is very much appreciated!

God bless,

David

The first thing I would check are the level numbers in Level Manger. Verify that the ATW_Level is actually number 500 and so on. It could be the level numbers are wrong.

Next would be to try the entering in the first two lines manually into the key-in window. See if it works that way.

xy=1000000,1000000
lv=500;place line;dx=0,-10;di=200,0;%d;reset;place text;ATW_Level;dx=-200,-10;

Using a valid level name in the lv= key-in this worked for me.

Long term I would get rid of the level number definitions in your dgnlibs, in this text file, and anywhere else you may have them. They aren't needed any more and can cause more problems than they're worth.

Ivo,

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I got the Batch Process up (Utilities > Batch Process) and used the File > Open within the dialog.

Thanks for looking out for me.

God bless,

David

I tried the Batch Processor but I am not sure if I did it correctly. In the Batch Processor I go to File > Open and select the file. I receive the following message in the Message Center "Invalid batch process job line: xy=1000000,1000000". I'm sorry, I am new to this and am learning as I go.

Does it work if you run it through the Batch Processor?
