I t would appear a new .cfg file that I place into the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\config\appl
folder, it still isn't being read? Right now, I have a small bascially text defition begin defined, just to test.
Any ideas?
Should work fine as I use this area as well.
Have you had a look at the debug to see if there is an issue.
Yes, if the NEW file is of a Windows File Tpye of Bentley Microstation Configuration, it is read during the debug.
If the file is simply a notepad text file, with the extension of .cfg, it is not read during the debug.
I fear, you are producing a <filename>.cfg.txt file (double extension) if you really create it with notepad. Make sure you see the file extensions in the windows explorer, it is important if you deal with such stuff. That is even why MicroStation did not use your file. it reads only the *.cfg files from the \appl directory (not a *.cfg.txt).
Windows does not know anything about file types from the files itself, it is always the file extension that defines what windows tries to do with this file !

btw. you don't need quotes unless you specify a path inside a variable that contains spaces and should be reused as parsed input.
All MicroStation configuration files are simply text files that have an extension of .cfg. You can create the files in any program that will save a text file such as Notepad, Notepad ++, and MS Word to name a few.
