Level Overrides in MOTIF

Silly question, but do you have any level attributes set to sync to the DGNLIB automatically? I only ask because I've overlooked that before, and chased my tail for hours trying to figure it out.

Mary,  I'm still new at the Bentley products so I'm unfamiliar with what you are saying.  Would you mind pointing me in the direction to find this out.

Thanks,

There is a configuration variable that, when set, will automatically synchronize certain level attributes back to match the original setting in the DGNLIB files whenever drawing files are open. This can be a good thing for enforcing standards, but it can interfere with any custom settings you may want to apply.

The configuration variable is MS_LEVEL_AUTO_SYNC_ATTRIBUTE_LIST and there's a decent description of it if you go to Workspace -> Configuration, find Levels in the list on the right, then scroll through the variable list to "Level Attribute Auto Synch." Not only will this give you the description of what this variable does, it will also show you if it is defined, at what configuration level (system/project/user/etc.) it is defined and what values have been defined for it.

In adddition to this setting, there is another, design file setting that could be causing a little havoc. I don't claim to understand it (apparently it's some AutoCAD analogy) - I can just point you to a resource link that can explain it better than I can:

Sorry it too so long to reply.  Your solution worked for me.  Thank you for the help.
