Good Morning,
I am trying to figure out how the previous administrators ran a .txt file into a .dgn so that it will go through all the levels, draw a line for that level and then place text of that level's name. Here is the beginning few lines of the .txt file. I have tried @C:\path\file_name.txt in the keyin but it doesn't seem to work. Nor does starting the Place Line command and then running the keyin.
I appreciate any help, thanks.
God bless,
David
I removed my mesage right after I had placed it since I immediatly noticed Mary beat me to it.

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!

Hi Rod,
This is David Sullivan formally at MaineDOT now at GDOT.
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=1000000,1000000lv=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.
