    &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will check for the&amp;nbsp;existence of a folder named for the _ENGINENAME and if it exists use that folder for the preferences. If it doesn&amp;#39;t exist it uses the base folder as the default location to load preference seeds from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So set _USERPREF_SEED_ROOT to your Organization-Civil/Preference Seeds folder&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then create the OpenRoadsDesigner, MicroStation, OpenRailDesigner, OpenBridgeModeler or whatever sub-folders you need, and copy the seed files into those folders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [MS/ORD] User Preference Seeds - Can they be different?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/737777?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Oct 2022 21:08:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b82d79e7-2959-4ea2-8f88-06e9f7ed937c</guid><dc:creator>Josh M</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&amp;nbsp; I should be able to get something to work using some of these configuration variables in conjunction with some testing for which product is being launched (like _ENGINENAME or _USTN_PRODUCT_SHORTNAME, for instance).&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll play around with it in a few days when I have time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [MS/ORD] User Preference Seeds - Can they be different?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/737776?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Oct 2022 21:03:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7de7cdba-f5a2-4366-af51-ab1710f3b678</guid><dc:creator>MaryB</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Here is a link to the Product documentation listing of &amp;quot;seed&amp;quot; configuration variables, including MS...PREFSEED variables.
