    Toggle the global display of level and level filters
     
    With many thanks to Kees van Prooijen for this tip!

    MicroStation V8 - Use level set display on|off|toggle keyin instead of on= and of= since it also supports reference levels! Note that this keyin is actually toggling the Global Display switch of the level rather than the view display switch. You can see this clearly in the Level Manager. (Thanks Greg!)


    A few examples of it's usage:

    Turn off all levels and filters in all files in the active view:
    level set display off file:all all;point ab

    Turn on levels in all files in the active view:
    level set display on file:all *;point ab

    Turn on a specific filter in all files in the active view:
    level set display on file:all [level spec];point ab
    So, for a filter called 1:2500, the keyin would be: level set display on file:all 1:2500;point ab
