Creating Sheet files
Creating Sheet files
(OP)
It just gets better and better...
Well, so for this POS - that would be V8 - has wasted a day by not saving level settings on a saved view basis.
So now I'm trying this new feature called "sheet files" and "model files." Seems to not do what I'd think it would. I've got a model file - what I've drawn up and a few "sheet files" that I HOPE will reflect various level being on or off depending upon what I want to show up in what particular drawing (each sheet is a separate plan sheet, right?). Got two of 'em to work but the third just doesn't want to turn the right levels on and the right levels off! What a pain.
I really want to AVOID making separate .dgn files for each drawing (normally that's what I'd do, but in this case, why should I?).
Anyone else experience glitches with this?

!
I think I've got it working now!
Here's what I did:
1. I'd set up my model with all the right levels turned on/off.
2. Save settings, save changes, save it all.
3. Exit program after saving everything.
4. Re-start program and open the file again.
5. Create a new sheet file and attach the model as a reference. All the levels come out appropriately.
6. Repeat each time you make a new sheet file.
Boy, I'm glad I HAVE TO EXIT AND RESTART THE PROGRAM EACH TIME FOR THIS TO WORK.
One more for my reaming-out list when the Bentley saleman calls to ask how things are...
BTW, I tried to contact Bentley through their website a week ago. No response yet.

I have since been able to upgrade to V8.1 and model ==> sheet works the way it should.
