Where can we get an update on a defect dealing with dgnws files and their locations?

We have a defect filed (Defect 1094694) for allowing a dgnws to reside in the main CAD folder in a given project rather than one huge directory with all cfg and dgnws files where all users would have read/write access. How do we find out on the progress of such a Defect ticket?

  • Any resolution to this defect?

    We would like to maintain the integrity of our CFG files by prohibiting users from potentially editing them, but would love to use the functionality of the DGNWS provides.

  • Hi Charles,

    That specific defect has not progressed, however other defects relating to DGNWS have been fixed which may affect your situation. 

    One approach that I have taken in a (deliberately) simple example configuration is to define a custom variable setting the location for my project data folders in WorkSpaceSetup.cfg :

    SMB_PROJECTS = D:/_SMB/SMB_Projects/

    then set the appropriate variables in the WorkSpace.cfg file as follows:

    _USTN_WORKSETROOT = $(SMB_PROJECTS)$(_USTN_WORKSPACENAME)/$(_USTN_WORKSETNAME)/

    _USTN_WORKSETDGNS = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)dgn

    _USTN_WORKSETDGNWS = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)Standards/$(_USTN_WORKSETNAME).DGNWS

    This results in the DGNWS being stored in the WorkSet Standards folder. This is a test example on my local D:\ drive inside the _SMB folder, but SMB_Projects and SMD_Resources could easily be located on separate mapped drives with admin/user permissions set appropriately.

    The SMB_PROJECTS custom variable is convenient for my case but could be replaced by hardcoded paths in the WorkSpace CFG files. This is in MicroStation but the principles should apply to OpenRoads.
