When a workset is created, there is an option to create new WorkSet Properties. These can be added and edited later from the workset menu.
There are also default Workset Properties such as Project Name, Project Number, etc. Where can these properties be modified? The workset menu only shows the properties I created. Under the File Properties within a DGN there is a section called WorkSet Properties where I can see both the default and user added properties (all properly greyed out since they shouldn't be edited within the file). But I can only edit the ones I added. How do I edit the default Workset Properties?
I'm investigating using the workset properties to populate sheet number block items such as the "Project Number" that will go on all sheets. Once the Workset Properties are set and all the pertinent properties can be edited; is it possible to save that as a workset template (to be used on all projects)?
(I've also tested using properties within the Sheet Index properties, and have the same question about having a DGNWS template.)

John Frampton - you just blew my mind!
I never would have thought you could open a .DGNWS file in MicroStation like a dgn or a dgnlib file.
Thank you for the great tip.

What does your TR encompass? The two improvements I would like to see from this current session are:
Based on what you've taught me I can proceed a bit further setting up our first draft of automatic sheets.
Thanks again!

It's the DGN part that is the give away ;-)

John.
yep
My TR encompasses your item number 2. I am not sure I understand your number 1, would you explain in more detail?
This goes back to my second post. When I created the "seed" DGNWS file, I added two user defined properties (I said variables in my previous post - which is synonymous in my mind and likely no where else). They were called "Division" and "State". These can be seen in the second image - the properties not circled. When I used this as a seed DGNWS, those variables did not show up in the new DGNWS.
It would be nice to set up agency properties that could be used on all projects.
