Anyone know where I can find a good thread fully describing these? Here is what I am looking to do, maybe I don't need a design script and there is a better way of doing it.
I have existing elements on their respective levels in my profile. Right now they are on a 0 weight and "grey-scale" color. Our client might want this changed to non-grey-scale and a weight 1 down the road. Instead of going to all 50 plan & profiles and changing it back and forth. I would like to do something like (I dont know much about "coding" or anything mind you), levelname = color,weight,style.
Is there a way to achieve this quickly using a design script/pen table?

No that didn't work. Besides the text on the right, it seems to just be the arrowhead that isn't converting over to grey-scale. I tried printing a few other pages as well to the same effect. I do not know if this makes a difference, but we use a cell "ARRHD" to determine our Arrow Terminator in our Dimension styles.
Under Pen Table Options --> Complex/Compound Element Options, I have everything checked. I have also tried both Element symbology comparison modes.
In the main window of Element Selection Criteria under Class: Originally I just had Primary highlighted, I now have everything highlighted, still no effect. I have all Types highlighted as well.
Can you send me your dgn and pen table?
I'm sorry but if your client wants you to change the elements to weight 1 not just printing so why not
just use batch processor to make everything weight 1 in all your files,
You said"" I have existing elements on their respective levels in my profile. Right now they are on a 0 weight and "grey-scale" color. Our client might want this changed to non-grey-scale and a weight 1 down the road."
So why are you printing grey scale your client said non grey scale what does that mean ? colour or B&W or WYSIWYG?
While were here
Go and make a new dgnlib file ( call it client name) with all your level names predefined and by level set to wt 1
open a new seed file named it your clients name and import/ attach the levels from the dgnlib file. will now take care of all future works...
