Migration and migraines need help

(This assumes you're using MicroStation CONNECT with the default installation)

On the workspace, copy your v8i workspace components into the appropriate folders in:

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Organization

Put your variables in the standards.cfg file in that folder.

You can not copy from your v8i config:

1. MDL apps (.ma & .dll files) - you need to find versions specifically compiled for CONNECT or come up with a new workflow
2. Macro basic (.BAS & .BA files) - these won't work anymore. need VBA replacements

In the folder C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces

create a folder (call it Kirk or whatever). Create a text file Kirk.cfg (as long as the cfg file has the same base name as the folder). This file can be empty but must exist.

Create a Worksets folder inside the Workspace folder you created. Create a folder inside the Worksets called AllProjects. Create an AllProjects.cfg (again, base name must match the folder). And again, this file can also be empty.

(So something like C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Kirk\Worksets\AllProject)

Now all your standards are in the Organization level, you have a Kirk Workspace and an AllProjects workset that do nothing.

Caveat: If you're planning on using the DGNWS file for things like like the sheet index and sheet number/titling, this probably isn't what you want. You'll want multiple worksets for that, but this will let you do that and still let you have all your standards in one place for all projects.

EDITED: clarified the folders inside the workspaces a bit.

Thanks for the help. I did see how someone was able to kind of implement a old bar menu.
