Global File Changer - How can I turn on all levels in multiple files?


This article walks you through turning on level display for all levels in selected views in multiple files.

Attached to this article is a KEY file that Global File Changer uses to perform this operation. The KEY file contains commands that MicroStation executes. Before processing your files, you may need to modify the values in the KEY file to match your requirements.

  1. Save the provided Level-Display-On-All.key file to a convenient location.
  2. Open the KEY file with Notepad.
    a. View 1 is the only view the KEY currently applies to. Remove the semicolon from the front of any other selview line you’d like the command to run on.

    b. Save and exit when complete.
  3. Load Global File Changer.

  1. Go to Settings | Restore Factory Defaults…, and press <Yes> when prompted.
    This is a precaution to ensure there are no other features or settings active that might impact your result.
  2. Next to the Design Files: field, press the <Select...> button.
  3. Either drag and drop your files into the Choose Files to Process dialog box or navigate to and select your files for processing. Press <OK> when complete.

  1. Next to the Key-in File: field press <Select...>, then navigate to and select the Level-Display-On-All.key file saved previously.
  2. Press <Start> to process your files.

When the process is complete, all levels from the specified views will have display turned on in all processed models.
