    Configure the level format display in combo boxes

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: XM, V8i
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Levels
      Subarea: General

    Problem

    Change the level format displayed within the combo boxes of various tools.

    Eg.


     

    Solution

    Set configuration variable MS_LEVEL_DISPLAY_FORMAT

    Possible values:
    N - Level Name
    C - Level Code/Number
    D - Level Description

    Note:
    -Value is case sensitive (IMPORTANT).
    -Undefined behavior is MS_LEVEL_DISPLAY_FORMAT = N
    -The format can be set to any value or any combination of the three.

    eg. MS_LEVEL_DISPLAY_FORMAT = N(C)
