Question: Below is an image showing the level manager in a cell file. Notice the Level SHET_Border does not show as having a defined library even though it does indeed live in the same library as the SHET_Boundary_NoPlot level. However, when I open the MaineDOT_Road_ROW.dgnlib the level does indeed live inside the library. Am I missing something?
I don't know if this will help. You could turn on the File Column in your level manager and see if that level is also copied into your cell library file
We are starting to use Element Templates to set levels and cell names, and have the cells all created on level Default. This way, no levels exist in the cell library and the cells get their levels from the DGNLIB with the Element Templates. But it is possible to have levels in an element template that is not in the level tables.

Chuck,
I have done that as well for cells that only need to be placed on a single level. However, my example happens to be a cell that includes more than one level. I have not dove deep enough into element templates to see if it's capable of placing elements within a cell on different levels.
The issue behind my original post stems from the level manager. My level manager is telling me there are levels in my file that don't reside in the level library. However, that is false. The levels do indeed reside in the level library. If I try to delete the SHET_Border level in the level manager it doesn't allow me to re-path that level to the same level as I would suspect. Now, if I change the level name to SHET_Borders and I close the file / re-open and delete the level SHET_Borders it does indeed find the SHET_Border level within the level library.
But that process of jumping back and forth from file to file to see if the level resides in the level library is time-consuming and truthfully I don't understand why the level manager in my cell file doesn't show that level as being in the dgnlib.
may Update Standards From dgnlib in your cell library file and see if it will re-read the dgnlib containing the levels
