I am trying to create a seed DGNws file so that all new WorkSets get a base Sheet index in them that contain project properties and folders. I tried using the variable _USTN_WORKSETDGNWSTEMPLATE but it creates a DGNws with two indexes in it (see below). Wouldn't be an issue if I could delete one of them and rename the other but trying to do anything in them causes a crash. Any thoughts on how I could create a seed DGNws file?
_USTN_WORKSETDGNWSTEMPALTE is just meant to point to the default system template.
With the addition to use an existing WorkSet as a template:

You really only need to setup a "dummy workset" populate the sheet index with the desired folder structure, you can even have base dgns already assigned in the sheet index, and use that as the template when you create a workset.

I believe that is what I stated I was trying to do with it and it did not respond accordingly. The variable is undocumented or at least I couldn't find it in help so whats expected of it who knows. Did you try it? What were your results?

Got it and that appears to work as expected. It worked very similar to how I figured the variable would work with regards to the dgnws file but doesn't.

yep
Marc,
Getting back to my original issue.
If I set up my WorkSETname.cfg it works great, I am not having an issuer with that part. When I use it as a seed it doesn't work so well. I'll showing my cfg here for you to try, that is all that's in the cfg which is primarily already in there by default.. What I am seeing is that it does not copy the files on my h:/. It only creates a cfg WorkSetNewName.cfg in the WorkSETsRoot folder.
If I step back some and keep the WorkSET folders in the delivered location but only change the one variable Shown below). Note I dropped the S from WorkSETs and I moved the DGNws into the WorkSET folder. It copies the folders but it does not change the name of the workset. It also after entering into the application creates a WorkSETname.dgnws in the folder as the cfg.
_USTN_WORKSETDGNWS = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)$(_USTN_WORKSETNAME).DGNWS
Let me know what you find.
Thanks
John
This issue is being addressed through SR 7000793838. Issue has been reproduced and a Defect will be file.
Thanks Melissa,
Which part of the issue? As I see it there are two different issues one is with the workset seed, the second is the DGNws template.
bump... resolved in Update 13?
Since u13 isn't out yet I don't actually know but currently status is "Open - Defect Filed". I am going to say no but will also need to test in u13.
