Looking for a way to force Coincident World for attach method, as well as set the default text/leader style.
For coincident world, I have checked that both MS_REF_COINCIDENTWORLD is set to one, as well as MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS has AttachMethod=CoincidentWorld included. I've tried changing that variable to AttachMethod=World, as I've seen also recommended, but it always defaults to "Interactive".
For the styles, I have created text and leader styles I would like to use with every dgn, but I haven't found a way to force those styles as default. Right now, it defaults to Style (none) for both.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Clayton,
I am unaware of the MS_REF_COINCIDENTWORLD variable (don't see it as an option for Configuration Variables). However, the MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS variable is working for me (see example below).
MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS = TrueScale=1,scaleLineStyles=0,AttachMethod=CoincidentWorld
Can you share your MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS variable definition here?
As for Text Styles: are you looking to update existing Design Files or set the default for new Design Files. Mary's suggestion will do it for the latter. To update existing Design Files, you could issue the following key-in commands:
textstyle active <Text Style Name>;filedesign
Example
textstyle active FDOT (Large);filedesign
You could use the Batch Process tool to update multiple Design Files.
