config variable problem

MS 08.05.02.35

We have a client .ucf which defines several of the cell configuration variables that would be used for all projects for that client. The following lines appear in that .ucf:

MS_CELL = $(cadd_standards)cells/
MS_CELLOUT = $(cadd_standards)cells/
MS_CELLLIST = $(cadd_standards)cells/*.cel

Then I wanted to prepend those variable definitions at the project level with project specific data. So, I added the following data to a project .pcf:

MS_CELL < $(Project)
MS_CELLOUT = $(Project)
MS_CELLLIST < $(Project)*.cel

But, microstation is not prepending the variables. When I check them in Microstation, they return the definition from the .ucf only. And, yes the $(Project) variable is defined in the .pcf. I can't figure out why the prepend isn't working, considering that the untitled.pcf delivered with the software includes the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

ucf configs will override those set in the pcf so you'll only see the variables set in the ucf file. This is part of the reason it's not a good idea to use ucf files to set build variables. JMO. Can you not set your build variables in a master cfg file on the network rather than ucf file?
