&lt;p&gt;I created the CUSTOMVAR.TXT file under my local folder (we use the workstation setup). I added a variable to the project configuration file:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FPID = [typed out the fpid]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then in the CUSTOMVARS.TXT I have to variables:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MS_PLTCFG_PATH = $(_USTN_PROJECTDATA)\symb&lt;br /&gt;MS_DEFAULT_PLTCFG = $(_USTN_PROJECTDATA)\symb\$(FPID).pltcfg&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For each project configuration, I will just insert the FPID variable because we always name the custom plot config FPID.pltcfg. This worked for me so that now when I add files into the pset, it won&amp;#39;t revert to the FDOTPDF.pltcfg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I ended up using = signs though in the customvars. I am wondering if that will cause issues when moving to another project, or if the custom plot config doesn&amp;#39;t exist. When I had the &amp;gt;, it kept wanting to use FDOTPDF instead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Configuration Variable for defaul plot config file</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/610637?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2020 11:26:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:46344c9f-6eb4-4b74-8e0a-759cf923ac5b</guid><dc:creator>MattSexton</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Nicholas,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two variables to work with here. One is the MS_DEFAULT_PLTCFG variable which is undefined.&amp;nbsp; You could define it in a &amp;quot;CUSTOMVARS.TXT&amp;quot; file which you would place in your C:\FDOTSS10\WORKSPACE\USERS\ folder for a standalone workstation or the same location on the server for a client/server configuration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally in that CUSTOMVARS.TXT file you&amp;#39;d want to add the project SYMB folder to the variable MS_PLTCFG_PATH. You&amp;#39;d want to use an angle bracket &amp;gt; to specify the variable so as add to it and not overwrite the current value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me know if this makes sense or if I can be of further assistance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thansk!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Configuration Variable for defaul plot config file</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/610486?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Sep 2020 21:29:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3057dc89-3633-4430-808e-c71babf6e12f</guid><dc:creator>Nicholas Ruiz</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;FDOTPDF.pltcfg** not FDOT.pdf&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
