I'm working to better understand how workspaces function in microstation, but I've hit a roadblock.
I understand that the .ucf file specifies active workspace components, but I don't understand how microstation knows where to find the .ucf file. Mine is referencing a seperate drive, other than the C drive.
Here's my current About Workspace. Nothing in my current .ucf seems to point to the Y drive, but it finds it none the less.

looking at your screen shot. it look slike you are uisng V8i. With this ther are (as Duncan has mentioned) a few option that tells MS where to find the workspace.
Have a look in : C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\PowerDraft V8i (SELECTseries)\PowerDraft\config (the path will vary for MicroStation)
Within this file. open in NOTEPAD the msdir.cfg and mslocal.cfg.
Within these file, you should see where the workspace is directed too. ie Y:/MicroStation\Config.
This is normally the first in a line of reroutes. Once you have find the file and the paths, then you need to look in a standards folder for cfg files. it might be in here that your UCF is defined.

Adam,
MicroStation has been customized to look to those locations. By default it is not setup to work that way, so someone has changed this. Do you know who in your office would have set this up as they would have a better understanding of what was done.
