Hi! I am trying to find the site configuration file of my Microstation V8i SS10 system. I was able to find a path from the _USTN_SITE variable, and assumed that's where the site configuration sits. However, how to find the file name of the site configuration? I search around the system variables but couldn't find a clue.
If you open a file in MicroStation and use the key-in $ %explorer $(_USTN_SITE), Windows explorer will open in the location pointed to by the variable. In this folder you will see the configuration file(s). For a default install you will see the config file Standards.cfg.
MicroStation will read all config files in this location see also this Wiki

running a "debug" on your configured MicroStation will show you what configuration files and variables are set at the SITE level.

Carl is the man. Read that wiki he linked. Critical to understand the order these files are processed in.

Hi Carl, thank you! I after reading the Wiki you sent I understand how it works now.
Just want to confirm another minor thing: I entered "%explorer $(USTN_SITE)" in the key-in. The Windows explorer opens with the default windows local location, but not where _USTN_SITE points to. Does it mean the system variables cannot be resolved in the key-in utility, and the path needs to be entered explicitly?
Hi Tim,
Thank you, I tried and this way should work. The debug output gives all the details.
