Configuration Variable to force the active file to last position in Update Sequence

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a MicroStation or InterPlot Configuration Variable to force the active file to be pushed to the last (bottom) slot in the Reference File>Settings>Update Sequence dialog.

Does such a thing exist?

The goal is that, at ICS plot time, I want to foce the active file to be displayed last so that none of the refernece data is diasplayed on top of it.

I understand this can be set manually, and that there are element display orders and all sorts of other methods to control display order, but none of those that I am aware of are suitable for the specific circumstance.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

  • I seem to remember there was a config variable that  forces this in msnt  so its alway by default and then its not  controlled by printing  it just  works itself out..

    I 'll look it  up  and get  back to you... later,,,

    Well ....

    I'm back now

    There is a way to do it in your config but it  only works on new files  so you have to set the  variables before you make a new drawing..

    but if you do set the variable (s) then any new drawing created post variable  will always have the active on top.. ie last
