Is there a macro that can "refresh" my levels automatically? I had a drawing where the levels had to change color for certain levels. I first had to select the whole drawing just to then hit "the color" dropdown and the select "by level" for my changes to take effect. If there is not, can someone please let me know if this macro can be made. I have a few days so far with microstation and already liking it.
Those changes should take place immediately. You may need to refresh views or re-load file if your preferences are set to not save changes immediately (not recommended).

Thank you for the reply, I am still very new to microstation connect and I do not see any options like that in my preferences. If you would be so kind and take a snapshot to guide me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
To clarify, you want some sort of macro that will change elements that have been changed from their ByLevel properties back to ByLevel? There is no native tool to select AND change in one go.
Is this for the entire drawing? Is it only for certain levels? Do you want the ability to select or exclude levels? The more specific your requirements, the more complex the tool required to do what you want.
If it's just "everything that isn't ByLevel" then I would just do what you did - select all and change everything to ByLevel. I've been doing this for years, and that's a pretty quick maneuver.

MicroStation does allow custom programming with VBA and more complex languages, so what you want wouldn't terribly hard to come up with.
A simple custom key-in string to do the "select all and change" without programming would be:
ACTIVE COLOR BYLEVEL; CHOOSE ALL; CHANGE COLOR; CHOOSE NONE
You could assign this key-in string to one of your function keys.
Anything more complicated than this would probably require programming.
