[CONNECT] Does it matter which dgnliblist variable is used to load named expressions?

Question

(Using MicroStation 10.16.00.80) 
 Documentation for Named Expressions says: 
 
 They are stored in the configured DGN libraries defined by the following configuration variables (MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST and MS_DGNLIBLIST_PRINTING) 
 
 Should the dgnlib containing my named expressions be listed in both? Does listing it in just one, affect how it can be used? For example, if just loaded in MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST does that mean the named expressions won't be available in setting Default Filenames in Print Organizer? 
 Thanks.

Hi Kevin, 
 Any Named Expressions DGNLIBs included by MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST will be available to the whole application. 
 MS_DGNLIBLIST_PRINTING is intended to be used to keep separate content relevant to printing separate from other DGNLIBs reducing the chances of cross-contamination between DGNLIBs. 
 The only expressions that would be available to the Print dialogs would be those where the Print Set box is checked so storing these in a DGNLIB defined by MS_DGNLIBLIST_PRINTING would be best practice. 
 The pre-defined print expressions are hard coded and cannot be edited ( Can you modify the pre-defined named expressions in Print Organizer? ).
