    Need V8 Help regarding "ByLevel" Symbology

    Her is my 2 cents worth Don't use by level unless you set it ups as standards for all elements on certain levels must be certain colours.(just like Autocad) Use only level overrides and actual active settings for colours and other symbology. always have symbology on to turn off by level...
