We were wondering what kind of progress has been made on providing options for the WorkSet Mismatch issue, and what sort of solution Bentley is pursuing?
We do *not* want the WorkSet Mismatch notification simply turned off. We typically want the currently Active WorkSet to be used for any DGN file that a user opens up, or at least have that option.
When Bentley was originally describing their ‘fix’ to this issue, they proposed setting it so the DGN file’s branded WorkSet (if any) was going to be the default; this is the opposite of what we usually want/need.
I amended our Service Request to Bentley to stipulate that we would like to have the following options:
1-leave it as is (notify of WorkSet mismatch)
2-use currently Active WorkSet
3-use the DGN file’s currently branded WorkSet.
We have over 20 WorkSets, and DGN files could be worked on by several overlapping WorkSet users, so if someone wants to batch Plot, or other operation, they want to use their currently Active WorkSet, and not be notified about a mismatch. Other times, they may want the notification. However, we definitely do not want to always use whatever WorkSet the DGN file is already branded with.
Are the above options being considered as a solution to the WorkSet Mismatch notification issue?
TIA,
G.Houck
The current status of this enhancement is 'Done', it should be available in Update 15.
We will post more details shortly

Hi Geoff,
The notes I have seen say that a variable has been added, the effect of enabling this variable should be that files will be opened using the active WorkSet disregarding any branding form other WorkSets, option 2 above.
Options 1 and 3 above are current behaviours.
I have not tested this myself yet, but it is showing as tested in the enhancement.
I am using Update 16 & I still cannot find any reference to this variable.
Are you able to follow-up with its syntax (if it has been implemented)?
