Configuration Setup of MS_CELL

Jon,

I figured it out. The workset configuration file TESTING.cfg had a setting _USTN_WORKSETROOT = Z:/WorkSpaces/MAIN/WorkSets/. It should have been _USTN_WORKSETROOT = Z:/WorkSpaces/MAIN/WorkSets/TESTING/ - with TESTING/ appended.

This whole WORKSPACE configuration is cumbersome.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Regards,

Jon,

Thanks for that info. It helped me look thru' the text file and find out where MS_CELL gets redefined. This is what happens:

I have 3 worksets: TEST, VECTOR, WORK.

When I choose the Workset: TEST, its sets MS_CELL per the TEXT.cfg like it is supposed to, but then it also sets it per VECTOR.cfg and then WORK.cfg. So, the final workset setting (WORK) is what results. In short, it seems to run all the the 3 worksets in alphabetical order.

Now, the funny thing is when I use the VECTOR workset, it just runs the VECTOR work set, which is fine!

Similarly, choosing the WORK workset, it just runs the WORK work set, which is also fine!

Why, it does not do the same with TEST workset alludes me? I have to look into this a little more later.

[quote userid="32707" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/197665/configuration-setup-of-ms_cell"]Where is Microstation getting this value (C:/Cell Library/) from? [/quote]

I don't know the answer to that question, but I can set you on the path to find the answer.

Lookup Debugging Configuration Files in MicroStation Help. Use the Windows command-line -debug switch to create an msdebug.txt file. Examine that file to see where variable MS_CELL is defined, and potentially redefined.

The Administration Forum might prove more fruitful.
