I am wanting to take a few (1000) DGNS and change the level numbers and to actually logic name.
I am wanting to do it by color and level number
example: level 24 color 2 to a "new" level named STRUCTURE
level 24 color 0 to a "new" level named NEW STRUCTURE
Does anyone have any tips for doing this to multiple files at once?
The batch-converter allows you to convert V8 files to V8, changing levels and symbology in the process. You can let Microstation create a CSV file for you, in wich you define the changes.

Ivo's suggestion of remapping through the batch converter is the easiest way I know to do this. It will handle many files at once, and it will change the elements from one level to another, according to a CSV file you can create.
The only downside to this is that it actually creates new files. I generates a converted copy of your original file.
If that is not acceptable (and I could see why it might not be) then Andrew's suggestion of a VBA macro that could be applied to your original files and make the changes there. It's a little more work, but it retains your original files as the only ones.(I hate having "extra copies" of anything lying around)

I agree mary but I do the export to c: \temp then examine they are ok and then archive> zip old files into superseded folder just in case and then move the temp ones to replace the old so no extra files lying around.
