Hi Alfred, There's two things I can think of... 1) The two seed files have different MicroStation settings. Problem is I can't see a setting that would have this sort of effect.
2) One of the seeds is v7, the other v8. FME is therefore using different writers and not using the same behaviour for both. Check out the FME log and it should tell you which version you are writing to. It might also show a difference in that it states it is writing to "IGDS" or to "DESIGN" depending on the version. If it is the case that the two seeds are different versions then let us know via [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll investigate. If they are the same then I think it must be a DGN setting - I just can't think what it would be. Use Settings > Design File or Settings > View Attributes to check them out.
