Sorting levels on DGN Writer

Hi,

I have a workspace to translate a Shapefile to DGN. The shp file has a attribute wich I can filter data to output in three different levels. In this levels, two of them, only have contour style, but the other one is full. When I write DGN file, the level with full style is on the top, so the other levels are hidden under this one. I've tried to put the level number in an attribute called idgs_level, but it doesn't work. I've also tried to put the level number in the writer parameteres, but doesn't work. 

The issue is, how can i control the order of the levels?

Thanks

Finally, in my case, I solved the order of the DGN levels by using a new seed file. This file has the right order, so the DGN file that the Writer creates, has the order that I need.

Hi @dxirgu 

 

I found a few resources that may help: 

Bentley MicroStation Design (V8) Writer Parameters

Tutorial: Microstation Transformations

Mastering MicroStation DGN: How to Integrate CAD and GIS

Tutorial: Dynamic Workflows

 

Are you using a seed file in the writer? Which version of writer are you using - v7 or v8?

Also, which version of FME are you using?

Hi @crystalatsafe 

thanks for your answer and your information. I'm going to take a look to this links.

 

Yes, I’m using a custom seed file in the writer and the version is v8.

The version of FME is 2023.2
