Change Level Names in MicroStation J
By ControlAltDelete - www.penbrush.com

In V7, the levels are not named, they are numbered and the names are just aliases stored in a text file with the extension .lvl. These level names are not stored in the design file. You can easily change level names by doing the following.

• Select Settings>Level>Names
• From the Level Names dialog, select File>Save
• Navigate to the folder of you choice and enter a name.
• Click OK

MicroStation will then “export” your level names to an external text file with a .lcl extension.

• Open the resulting .lcl file with any text editor
• Edit the names as desired
• Save the changes
• Again in MicroStation, select Settings>Level>Names
• Form the Level Names dialog, select File>Open
• Select the modified .lcl file
• Click OK
• Click the Done button.
