&lt;br /&gt;
For example set the following vars in the individual client pcf files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MS_SEEDFILES -      Search Path for Seed FIles&lt;br /&gt;
MS_DESIGNSEED - Default seed file for creating design files&lt;br /&gt;
MS_CELL -                  Search Path for cell libraries&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Workspace configuration is a big topic, but MicroStation does deliver a couple of examples which you can refer to for reference to get you started. These can be accessed before opening a file by changing the workspace ( Bottom right hand corner ) to User:examples and Project:xxxxxx , here you will also see the New option allowing you to create a new project ). The associated project files including *.pcf can be found here by default &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Projects\Examples &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
