    Problem

    Auxiliary Coordinates different in views.
    The Auxiliary Coordinates (ACS) are different in each view.
    Opening a file in V8i has different coordinates compared to previous
    versions.

    Product: MicroStation V8i
    Version: 08.11.05.17
    Area: General, PROBLEMSOLVING

    Solution

    MS_SETDEFAULTVIEWACSFROMMODEL = 1
    ----
    Information:
    V8i supports having an ACS per view instead of just per-model, this
    allow for better control over placement depth.
    Unsnapped points are now always projected to the ACS plane (which will
    follow the active depth (AZ=)).
    If ACS plane lock was not enabled for the file a default view ACS is
    created at the view center at active depth (when opened in V8i).

    Solution details:
    If settings are saved in the file in V8i.
    1. Go to the ACS dialog (utilities > Auxiliary coordinates)
    2. Right click on the active ACS and choose "Reset to Global�
    3. Right click again and select "Set All Views"

    OR

    If settings were not yet saved (or if pre-V8i behavior is desired by
    default) set the configuration MS_SETDEFAULTVIEWACSFROMMODEL = 1.
    With this set, the default ACS is created for a view it will use the one
    from the model instead of creating one to mimic active depth
