I've scoured these forums and google and cannot seem to figure this one out on my own.
With VBA I'm able to place a cell into my design file. It does not come in on the desired level, however (not necessarily the active level) and I don't know how to change the cell's level. Some things I've noticed are
1) if, when the cell was drawn, the level that the cell was drawn on does not exist in my design file, that level is created in my design file
2) in my code, immediately after "ActiveModelReference.AddElement myNewCell", the command "MsgBox(myNewCell.Level)" throws a "variable not set" error so I tried "Set myNewCell.Level = someLevel" but I get the same error on this line of code
What am I missing here?
Thanks

If you use the Analyze Element tool to examine a normal cell, you will see that the type 2 cell header level is greyed out. In fact, the cell header doesn't have any level, since it's not a graphic element but a container for one or more other elements, some of which may be graphic. Those component graphic elements will each have a level. It's necessary to iterate the components of a cell instance (i.e. after you have added it to a DGN model) and rewrite the cell if you want to change their levels.
Point cells behave differently. Useful methods are CellElement.IsPoint and CellElement.SetLevelRelative.

If you are a newcomer to MicroStation VBA, why not take a training course? I believe that the Bentley Institute provides class-based and on-line training.
