Hi,
I am trying to route the dataset based on discipline and I would like to ask you if you know of any variable that uniquely defines which application is running on top of MicroStation. I mean such as Bentley Architecture, Bentley Structure, Mechanical or something else.
Can we even make an algorithm which determines the Discipline and route us to the corresponding datasets without explicitly writing the variable in each application's config files? Any help on this would be of great help to me.
Sincerely,
Rabi
I have not looked in to this, but I think I can remember that for the GeoGraphics extension at least there was a variable that was set when the application was loaded.
In the past I've succesfully implemented an application dependant configuration using application specific variables. These were not variables meant to identify an application, but just happened to be unique to one application.
And to find out for yourself: maybe you can add the -debug switch to the command line of MicroStation or check the variables from within the application to see what variables are defined in various situations?
