Starting the task of reconfiguring Microstation V8i

Would this info help? www.bentleyuser.org/FeatureDetail.asp

If not, try Google Microstation variables

Yes, I have done that, and have began to compile that information, but I have to do it with all of the applications one at a time, in order to capture ALL of the various variables.

I was simply wanting to see if someone had a quicky solution i suppose.

Unfortunately, that list only exports the "known" variables. Any "custom" variables will not be in the list.

A custom variable can come from a Bentley Add-on, a third party Add-on, or from you.

If you can get most applications to load upon startup, you can use the -debug switch on a shortcut. This starts MicroStation using the last user, user interface and project loaded.

With the msdebug.txt file, you can see the order of loading of CFG files and what assignments are made where and when. This will include any CFG files in the APPL folder.

If an application creates variable upon load and does not load on startup, it is much harder to categorize those without knowing what you are looking for. Hopefully, the application's help files explain any such variables.

This is what I have to do.

Open each applicattion with the -debug switch.

This allows me to find ALL variable names being used.

I create a debug for each application for compilation into one excel with a worksheet  for each application.
