Hello,
I am wondering whether anyone else encountered similar problem with Profile and XS drawing seeds where the Sheet Model seed model is not found.
Following the tutorial found here: https://learn.bentley.com/app/Public/ViewLearningPathWithMasterCourseExpanded?lpId=111346&mcId=111346&CourseId=119811&moduleId=119812 (chapter 7 - drawing production) I've created my DGNLIBs with profile sheet definitions and XS sheet definitions. I added the files to my DGNLIBLIST config variable, and I see them while choosing drawing seed when creating drawings from named boundaries. The problem is - the software does not recognize Sheet Model:
Im also attaching my config Variables:
5808.configVariables.txt
Does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong? Or had similar problem?
I'd be glad for any help...
Thank you in advance,
Jakub
Well it seems I figured it out...
the config variable MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS > synchWithSavedView=none was causing the trouble... Now I can make sheets from seeds.
However it causes another problem - inside those sheets we are not able to be sure that sheet content is seen same as in default (design) from which those sheets were created (Presentation is same as in saved view and not as in model where such saved view is referring to) e.g. saved view was't syncing when i changed some references or added new ones.
I found a post about that - Syncing with saved view in sheet models - there someone advised to change that setting - so I did... not knowing what a bunch of problems it's gonna cause...
Does anyone have any idea how to maintaing Master Design model's symbology to be same in created sheet models? Or It's just me who is doing things the roundabout way...?
Cheers
Jakun,
I know this post was a few years ago but I have come across the same thing recently while making new dnglibs and sheets for my dept, for some reason now I am missing the sheet model seed and it is not showing up at all but shows up on others, this has been baffling because I too have followed the steps in the ORD training videos to no avail. Did you figure out the solution?
I would be grateful for a solution if you have found one.
thanks joe.
Scroll to the top of the list in the upper portion and click. The line should be the one displaying $(variable_name). If that line is missing, it indicates an error of some sort.

You were right it was empty which told me when they customized the work set it was an error, I also just did some digging in with the sheet seed file and seen that they saved the name different then which is defined (2D) MS_SHEETMODELSEEDNAME = 2D $(UNITS) Sheet it cannot find the file because they changed all the model names as sizes instead of the suggested 2D imperial sheet.
Joseph, indeed Chuck has provided some great additional information for the Community!
I will never understand why Agencies feel like they need to "stamp" everything rather than just using the files as they come from the box. Our own DOT here in Oklahoma has done this, as well as Florida DOT, Texas DOT, etc. This process makes things quite difficult to error check and it adds little to nothing of actual value. In your case- and assuming that they just HAVE to stamp their files, it would have been quite easy to do so as long as the related strings remain intact. Still, modifying the files without changing their names is the manner in which to achieve progress, IMO. As well, because I HAVE NOT modified any of these strings or names, I am able to use the _Civil Default Standards - Imperial.cfg file exactly the way it is in each new version of the software. Any and all customizations are done at the WorkSet level rather than at the WorkSpace Level.
Best Regards,

MARK,
I really appreciate this insight everyone here in the forum has been insightful although I am new to the company I have been assigned to create and standardize the depts (Standards and Procedures). I always have believed that there is a right way to do things and an incorrect way I am here to make sure going forward we are all in line with policy and procedure and as for how we implement those procedures I intend on making sure we have a road map detailed and orientated so that long term the issues will not continue to come up. Once I figure all this out, I am sure that this uphill of issues will no longer be a milestone but a learning tool to the future.
thanks for the assistance, Mark
Sincerely, Joe Finley
Indeed, Joe. If everything went well all of the time, I doubt that I would have knowledge of anything at all!
