As a user entering a new workplace/workspace I am wanting to add my own dgnlib containing MenuBar customisations. I can do this by either using the Workspace>Customize menu and appending my dgnlib or manually entering it into the ucf file such that it has a line reading;
MS_DGNLIBLIST > C:/User/User.dgnlib
This works and I can see my new MenuBar customizations, but I then find that the existing company MenuBar customizations (Menus) have dissappeared. I would have thought that simply using append(or >) rather than the "=" operator would avoid this scenario but it doesn't so I must be missing something?
Tim, in the past I have worked on a lot of projects that are completely autonimous. Modelling or creating workflows, testing things that previously haven't existed. Needing levels and text styles that don't exist. Definitely testing things. It might be an unusual working environment but it does exist. It helps to have a few little standards available in the absence of any.

Thanks for posting the debug files, these show which *.cfg files are processed and the defined variables within each *.cfg, at the bottom there is a summary of what is set. Looking at your ' msdebug - Added dgnlib to ucf.txt ' it shows that its processing the user configuration file Processing macro file [C:\Users\DjukanovicJ\Documents\UstnV8i\PB-v8i.ucf with the following var as : MS_DGNLIBLIST=$(_USTN_USERINT)$(_USTN_USERINTNAME)\*.dgnlib;E:\Jovan\Microstation\Dgnlib\Jovan.dgnlib [C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\interfaces\MicroStation\default\*.dgnlib;E:\Jovan\Microstation\Dgnlib\Jovan.dgnlib] In yet earlier you mentioned setting this in your ucf " MS_DGNLIBLIST > C:/User/User.dgnlib " are you sure you edited the correct UCF file or may be you was just using this as an example.? Assuming ' Jovan.dgnlib ' is your file containing your user customizations, open the user configuration file C:\Users\DjukanovicJ\Documents\UstnV8i\PB-v8i.ucf and place a '#' in front of the line starting with MS_DGNLIBLIST.................. so MicroStation no longer reads this line, then add the following line
MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST > E:\Jovan\Microstation\Dgnlib\Jovan.dgnlib Reopen MicroStation and see if this helps restore the interface as required. If you then require Text styles, levels etc then try adding the line
MS_DGNLIBLIST > E:\Jovan\Microstation\Dgnlib\Jovan.dgnlib

Hi Tim, In addition to MenuBar customisations I also have tools, tasks, levels, textstyles etc which would not be included if I only used MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST. I thought that MS_DGNLIBLIST was a pretty standard way of adding your own general customisations. Jovan.
