I'm not a level expert, so I can't comment on the differences between those two keyins. But certainly you would not be alone in defining MS_LEVEL_AUTO_SYNC_ATTRIBUTE_LIST. It's a convenient and not uncommon way to automatically pick up any changes to the .dgnlib. But can be easily circumvented by opened the file in read-only mode. Print Organizer allows its worker process to be run in either read-only or read-write mode. Read-only is the default, because not nearly as many users need MS_LEVEL_AUTO_SYNC_ATTRIBUTE_LIST and similar settings as those that do. And there's benefit in Print Organizer's worker process not locking the DGNs it's processing. Print Organizer will work fine with MS_LEVEL_AUTO_SYNC_ATTRIBUTE_LIST as long as the worker is set to run in read-write mode and no one has the DGNs open at the time of printing. That includes the interactive Print Organizer user, so it's good practice -- if read-write mode is being used -- to open a scratch DGN before starting a Print Organizer session. Print Organizer is designed for batch operations, not printing the active DGN. The File / Print command is the intended tool for ad-hoc prints of the active DGN.
