 we seems to have adopted a workflow where we create individual files and then create a composition file of all the different references specific for the relevant floor plate, elevation/section etc.... 
 
 users then reference in the composition</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/281596?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:46:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0329b9ae-cb9b-4672-a478-f079030a0365</guid><dc:creator>Eric Milberger</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I will like Bentley to answer this one. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes View Works on views&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes Global works across all Views &amp;nbsp;(Just like I think it is supposed to)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then sometimes,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems to work backwards and this just messes with my mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/281224?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Apr 2014 16:10:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3092c0bf-0b6c-42f8-8325-0cade2ea18d1</guid><dc:creator>Kieran Gilman</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Gents,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for the response and feedback. I have given the comments above a try and it all seems to work. my only dilemma, is that the saved seems to work with &amp;#39;view display&amp;#39; rather than &amp;#39;global display&amp;#39;. Is this correct....?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I would like to try and stay global display &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind regards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/280205?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:25:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:10427d41-616a-46f4-a676-9db2648e4a87</guid><dc:creator>Eric Milberger</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Also - make sure by habit - before you leave the original drawing - set it up like you like it and create a saved view.. &amp;nbsp;SV=1 for example. &amp;nbsp;I use the same for all my drawings at this stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then when you attach to a sheet it will allow you to place it after you enter the scale and such.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that now this is &amp;quot;locked&amp;quot; as all levels will remain just as created with the saved view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to have control back in the sheet file then open the reference dialog and change the synchronize settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(You can also change the Saved views like we do for our Dynamic Views of models.) &amp;nbsp;This I would reserve for just modeling unless you know what you are doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/279977?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2014 12:04:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:91aa6a5b-f0e5-48bd-a2c8-2f4ff9eea5f6</guid><dc:creator>Tim Hickman</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;then possibly putting the drawing model and the sheet model in the same file and turn on/off the levels globally (as this will effect both models)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/279888?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:55:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e74cd7e1-e42f-417c-b73b-07b340dc08da</guid><dc:creator>DavidG</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Tim,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While what you describe is a traditional MicroStation type workflow it is not the only method or necessarily the most efficient. &amp;nbsp;I would suspect this user is used to more of an AutoCAD type configuration per his diagram of &amp;nbsp;Design -&amp;gt; Drawing Model-&amp;gt; Sheet. &amp;nbsp;In that work flow using the Drawing Model to control levels has many benefits. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You work in the Design and you flip things on and off as desired, the Drawing Model is more of a container of references (and level settings) attach to a sheet. &amp;nbsp; It is generally impossible to know at the time of sheet creation specifically what levels you will have and what needs to be on. &amp;nbsp;If I have a floor plan that needs to split into 8 sheets (zones) you can control levels in all sheets via the drawing model as opposed to having to go into each sheet separately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/279885?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:13:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b2886eda-167f-4c04-a230-1140c3e7e808</guid><dc:creator>Tim Hickman</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;generally when creating your sheet files, you are going to turn on and off levels that you need to get the display for final issue. When you make these changes, these should be stamped into the sheet and should not change (no matter what is happening in the references). Don&amp;#39;t set up the levels in the reference master or its files, then attach it to the sheet, rather, attach it to the sheet, then in the sheet make your changes to the levels you need. Now in the future when you work on the references, because this is where the data actually exists, you should be able to turn on and off levels and not have it change what is showing in the sheet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this said there are a few things that effect all of this. One is syncronizing the levels - which was mentioned above. Another is what MicroStation does with any new level introduced into a file. If you create a new level in any of the files being referenced, by default, when encountered in the sheet file, it will be turned off for display. If &amp;nbsp;this is not how you want it to function, then you need to set the MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY = 1 , which when set will turn on any new level encountered in the references.Lastly, you will also need to determine whether it is global display, global freeze or view display on/off that is being changed as these are different settings (and this may be where you are encountering issues). An example of this would be you are in the master model where all the references are attached and this is what in turn is attached to the sheet (which is in the same file, master model and sheet). When in the master model you &amp;quot;globally&amp;quot; turn off a level - what you essentially just did, is turn that level off for alllll models/sheets in that file (*.dgn/dwg). So if you go into the sheet, that level is now off as well (not a good workflow). What you should be working with is &amp;quot;view display&amp;quot;. If you turn off the view display of a level in the master model, this will not effect the level in the sheet (it would still be on).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/279882?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:47:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:85559e84-41bf-48ec-ae21-fa6265ca3660</guid><dc:creator>DavidG</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Perhaps this setting may be of use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are also some key-in for syncing views for symbology settings that may also apply to levels on/off. &amp;nbsp;I have been searching for them on a related issue but cant find them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/279880?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:23:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2378217a-413f-4731-93fe-cdd67e8c80a6</guid><dc:creator>Kieran Gilman</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your quick response. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything is set to global display as the users like not to keep saving the settings, especially if another user has being into the file and changed some of the settings/ view setups to suit them&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: sheet file issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/279879?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:11:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:de3996ea-8327-4498-9f86-c2bcc135788f</guid><dc:creator>DavidG</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There are a lot of variables here. &amp;nbsp;Especially when you inject DWG into the mix. &amp;nbsp;There are some system variable that may may help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are your user using view display or global display when turning on or off levels?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
