&lt;p&gt;As a long time exponent of the &amp;#39;dark art&amp;#39; I understand exactly what you are saying and will pass this on to product managers. Thank you for your comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: dgn lib to connect</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/686716?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Dec 2021 11:01:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0210594c-bd98-4a33-9d96-1b7990b28f1e</guid><dc:creator>Keith C</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Marc, my query is resolved but yes, I feel that you shouldn&amp;#39;t really have to go into Configuration Variables to point to configuration files to get things working the way you had them before. I have done this with V8i but didn&amp;#39;t have to use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST before, just use the dgnlib search path. I spoke with Bentley&amp;#39;s Customer Success Manager and spoke at length about how not all users are expert configurators, they are architects and engineers etc and really want&amp;nbsp;something that is up and running very quickly after upgrading and to be honest, I even find the customising toolbox/menu a bit on the complicated side and could do with a more &amp;quot;idiot friendly&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;interface and I am considered&amp;nbsp;an advanced user in our small office..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As a case in point when I am installing new versions of Microstation for staff in the office, experienced CAD/Software users, when they see me working through the configuration adjustments I have to do they think it is some sort of dark art I am performing as I go through process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Key points for me:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;Not all users/organisations are large enough have a dedicated CAD / IT Manager, the person who deals with the software is doing this while trying to work in their main role.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;The fact that some of the guides and wiki&amp;#39;s are sometimes quite lengthy kind of makes my point too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;I am pretty sure that many users will be a few versions behind due to the processes involved with upgrades&amp;nbsp;if they are not experts in migrating interfaces etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hopefully that is my moan over for the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Regards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Essentially you would like to see settings for locating resources in a UI?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: dgn lib to connect</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/686704?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Dec 2021 10:24:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:457b406f-59a7-457f-a560-267f431b44d0</guid><dc:creator>Keith C</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Brilliant, it was the&amp;nbsp; MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST that I had to use to point to the customising dgnlib. Still think it shouldn&amp;#39;t be this difficult though, should be a setup in the &amp;quot;front of house&amp;quot; rather than configuration to make it much more user friendly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many thanks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can still access the customize dialog to see if your customizations are loading:&lt;/p&gt;
