My image&amp;nbsp;uses NoWorkSpace and NoWorkSet.&amp;nbsp;I recently ran into an issue with selecting one of the Example dgn files on the Start Page. At that point&amp;nbsp;the open file page included an additional workspace &amp;quot;MetroStation&amp;quot; and messed up all my configurations for &amp;nbsp;NoWorkSpace. I was in a hurry so, ended up re-installing my deployment image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could I remove the &amp;quot;MetroStation&amp;quot; workspace and get my original NoWorkspace to be the only one on the dgn files open page?&lt;/p&gt;

So, an 8&amp;#39;-0&amp;quot; dimension shows in the reference dwg and copying the dimension (and all its elements) into an active dwg model causes the dimension value to show 8&amp;#39;-0 1/4&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I looked at the dimension style and shows a round off at 1/4&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I change the drawing resolution to open dwg files at 3048 per distance inch.&lt;/p&gt;

We do have multiple disciplines: Architectural and Store Planning. Our current drawing folder structure is by Project location which contains each specific disciplines files in one&amp;nbsp;folder.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It looks like to me creating workspaces as disciplines will create a workset for each discipline. Not quite sure how to make connect worksets work so that it will allow for project location for all files (which is what we would prefer).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, we do not want to have Connect stand on it&amp;#39;s own with migrating V8i configurations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My thought was to create cfg files at the workspace (Discipline level) and some how not use or create worksets for each discipline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone have an idea how this might be accomplished in Connect? I have read thru multiple V8i to connect migration blogs and items on this forms. So, I would like to have explanation on how to get&amp;nbsp;Connect to work similar to V8i.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have several sheets to print to PDF for a site project with the PDF sheet size being 24x36. The ten sheets end up being a bit over 25 MB and flipping from one sheet to the other seems to lag a bit. There are no rasters in the files, but there are several reference files, including nested references, and a mix of DGNs and DWGs. Some of these references contain what I call &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot; elements (elements used for OpenRoads modeling purposes), but the display of these elements are turned off. I have attached one of the sheets as a typical example of one of the sheets. I have also attached the plot driver for reference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone have any ideas on how to make the PDF file size smaller and then hopefully easier to work with (scrolling sheet to sheet in the set)?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;Ken&lt;/p&gt;
