Force new levels in references to be on

Force new levels in references to be on
To control if a new level in a reference is on or off, set the following configuration variable:

MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY = 1 forces the initial display of a new reference level to on.

MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY = 0 forces the initial display of a new reference level to off.

Bentley's Chris Marks adds the following information:

If set, MicroStation displays newly created levels in references. By default, when new levels are created in a model that is referenced by another model, the new levels are not displayed when the referencing model is opened. Newly created levels are considered until "Save settings" is performed in the referencing model. This functionality only works when both the master file and referenced files are in the V8 file format.
