Selectable "Roles" on the Work Page

How do we configure MicroStation so that we can use Selectable "Roles" on the Work Page with MicroStation or OpenRoad/Rail Designer?

It was shown in the MicroStation SIG All About the DGNWS.

  • I have a new development to report on this...

    After installing the Ohio DOT configuration through their installer program, it edited my C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\ConfigurationSetup.cfg. I edited the file to undo the change. The next time I opened MicroStation the Role drop-down appeared on the WorkPage.

    I still had my Roles folder set up from my previous attempts:

    _USTN_ROLESDIR      : System         = C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Roles\ 

    Now, all of a sudden, it's working.

    Go figure.

    FYI... 

    The location of USTN_ROLESDIR is defined as follows _USTN_ROLESDIR=$(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)Roles\

    In our EnvisionCAD Traning Workspace we redefine _USTN_WORKSPACEROOT to go to C:\EnvisionCAD\Training\ Creating a Roles folder there with the two .cfg files, the WorkPage Role drop-down has no problems picking them up.

    Edit: attached my ConfigurationSetup.cfg file to show that there is nothing special set in this file.
