    Displaying new levels in references
     
    In MicroStation V8 XM Edition you can control the display of new levels in a referece on a per file basis. When attaching a reference, take a close look at the Attachment Settings dialog and note the following options for New Level Display:

    Use MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY configuration variable (Default Setting) New levels in the reference are displayed according to the setting for the MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY configuration variable. If this variable is 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 models are considered until "Save settings" is performed. This functionality only works when both the master file and referenced files are in the V8 file format.

    Always New levels in the reference are always displayed.

    Never New levels in the reference are never displayed.
