All
I want to change the way a DGN file is opened on a PC that has ABD installed. At the moment if I double click a dgn file within Windows Explorer, it opens with the full ABD version. I want to change this to use the ABD MicroStation version. As you are aware there is an icon for this, but via the DGN properties > Open With option, there isn't an option. I can select the ABD.exe file but I am unable to define the BB_Discipline.....
Anyone know how to change this
Thank you
Ian

This is what you asked for.
Windows File association will only associate with one icon/application, likewise Open With....
I always recommend that users open the correct application then the file having ensured they are using the correct project.
Also many system managers set the default association for DGN to Bentley View to avoid unnecessary licence consumption.
