Problem
Some levelnumbers do not display
In the level manager not all the numbers of the levels are showing.
Solution
CAPABILITY_LEVELS_USE_AUTO_GENERATED_NUMBERS
In MicroStation V8i levelnumbers that have not been defined by the user are not shown.
In older versions, undefined level numbers were always automatically generated by the program and displayed in the Level Manager.
In order to see these auto-generated level numbers in version V8i, one of the following capability variables has to be set:
_USTN_CAPABILITY < +CAPABILITY_LEVELS_USE_AUTO_GENERATED_NUMBERS (applies to dgn and dwg files)
_USTN_CAPABILITY_DGN <+CAPABILITY_LEVELS_USE_AUTO_GENERATED_NUMBERS (applies to dgn files only)
_USTN_CAPABILITY_DWG <+CAPABILITY_LEVELS_USE_AUTO_GENERATED_NUMBERS (applies to dgn files only)
Once set, auto generated levels will display enclosed in "*", so auto level 243 will display as *243* in level manager.
When you hover over such a number, an information message will display saying that it is an auto-generated levelnumber.
To make it a user defined (fixed) levelnumber, doubleclick slowly on the number.
The display format will change to the same number without the * and the number is saved in the file's level table.
To define level numbers for all the levels in one or more existing files, consider using:
File>Save as, that uses a level remapping csv
Note that only user defined levelnumbers will appear in the csv when you're in the excel application and load the levels from the active file.
You will need to enter the undefined numbers in the remapping file yourself.
To have the level numbers displayed together with the level names in the active level pick list in the Attributes dialog, set:
MS_LEVEL_DISPLAY_FORMAT = C(N)
