MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY

Question

Hi All, 
 I have set MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY = 1 within my standards.cfg 
 However I am pretty sure this does not seem to work all the time. 
 Is this a know issue? 
 This is in AECOsim CEU4 (equivalent to Microstation CEU11)

I came up with a script ( with a little help) that only works in batch processor but will apply an new override to an existing ref attachment I havent tested it with nested as for nested I just go to the nest and change the override there and it always works in the drg that nest is attached to.. 
 But lots of drawings that were single depth not nested with the same ref and boss want to change the symbology of something in all drgs that in a dgnlib has always driven me nuts since V8i could handle dgnlibs... I can do it one at a time in each drg with overrides but that is so time wasteful .. why I developed with help the script ... here it is with instructional comments copy and paste into your batch processor and save it s you can even use it on single file or several... 
 not tested with sheet models --- enjoy and feel free to share around 
 BTW Mary I would like to know it it works as intended for you too 
 as it works great for me..
