removing proxyelements from Microstation files

Can I make sure  the value of the parameter "MS_DWGSAVEAPPLICATIONDATA = 0 is kept for the user each time he enters MicroStation?

MS_DWGSAVEAPPLICATIONDATA is a MicroStation configuration variable.  You specify configuration variables in one of MicroStation's configuration files.  Configuration files are plain text files.  Most have the extension .cfg.  Read about configuration in MicroStation help.

s there a way to control the parameter automatically

You can query and set a configuration file using MicroStation development languages, including VBA.  ActiveWorkspace.AddConfigurationVariable and ActiveWorkspace.ConfigurationVariableValue do what you want.

Often CAD administrators need to lock a configuration variable, see: How to lock a configuration variable.
Additional details for this variable can be found here: MicroStation CONNECT Edition Configuration Variables > DWG/DXF (Close-Specific)

Hi Ido,

I guess it was answered by Jon and Bob already, so just a small comment:

the value of the parameter "MS_DWGSAVEAPPLICATIONDATA = 0

Accordingly to documentation the valiad values for this variable is ON and OFF, not 0. But I did not test it if 0 is processed as OFF regardless it's not described in documentation.

With regards,

Ido,

My thoughts are you have a new (product based) question related to loss of information during a conversion that would be best asked to the appropriate product support team community first as a new post. If, the question is not able to be addressed and you are able to program to work-around/work past an issue providing a sample of what you currently have (dgn file, screen capt) showing what is expected and what is wrong (dgn and/or screen capt) we will be glad to provide any programming input and guidance we can.

HTH,
Bob
