When ProjectWise (PW) Explorer client is installed it puts configuration file pw.cfg in MicroStation's config/appl folder. That configuration file instructs MicroStation to pop the PW login dialog when it starts.
pw.cfg
config/appl
But how do I prevent MicroStation from showing that PW dialog? I have only one project (workset) where I want to use PW. Most of my work does not require PW.

Hi,
Just uncomment the following row in pw.cfg:
PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION_FROM_DESKTOP=1

Thanks! But that disables PW for all MicroStation workspaces. How can I enable PW for the one workspace where I must connect to PW?

Didn´t test it yet, but what about putting variable into cfg-files of respective workspaces?
That sort-of works. On starting MicroStation, I still see the PW log-in dialog, which then vanishes. I would prefer that PW Explorer not load at all.
This is kind of an ugly solution, but move the file pw.cfg in MicroStation's config/appl folder somewhere else so MicroStation does not automatically read it. Then in the one WorkSpace configuration file you need ProjectWise do a %include to the pw.cfg file.

the pw.cfg needs to be loaded at the appl level so its best to leave it there. no real elegant solution but what i would do is set the PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION_FROM_DESKTOP variable. so when opening my local files i dont get the prompt.
When you need to work on the project that requires PW open the files from PW Exploer and in projectwise setup a profile so the correct workspace/workset is used.
