Graphic User Interface redistribution

I would like to duplicate a Graphic User Interface (tool bar layout) on all my PC's or at least make it available to the users so they can select it. 

It would also be nice to make the individual interface for each user available when they move from workstation to workstation.

Anyone know how to do this?

We are running SS2.

 

Thanks.

  • Hi Brian,

        user preference files and docking xml information cannot be shared between users, meaning that each users should have a local copy of these files on their workstation.

    What you could consider is creating a .upf seed file on one machine, and then define the "MS_USERPREFSEED" and "MS_DOCKINGPREFSEED" variables in your standard.cfg file,  pointing them respectively to the upf and xml docking seed files you created.

    This way every time you create a new user or delete an old/corrupt .upf file, the new files will be created using the above specified as seeds, including all the settings and preferences you saved in them.

    If you also need to share custom tools or toolbars, then this can be done by creating these custom tools in a dgnlib library, store in a shared workspace and configuring the variables MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST to include the library paths.
