standard config files located on a server, what should I look for?

Hello,

I am fairly new to the Bentley World and want to set it up properly for my users who haven't used it at all. What I would like to do is setup the standards and DNG templates and other items that the end users will need on the server and have Bentley look there for these items.

Dimension Styles, Layers, Wall Configs, tags and callouts.

What I am lacking is what to look for and where in the configuration would I find the paths to point the others to? Is there a book or a white paper somewhere that I can refer to for this?

Thank you for the help

If you search the Wiki, there is some information/lists on the avaulable configs and what they do. If you also search the forums there are some very good threads on how to set up your own build and make it available to other users.

Thanks for the help.

Still getting use to the forum here and Wiki. Been a long time since I had to setup a system from scratch.

Where does a newby start with trying to set up project directories on a server? I've been through the Wiki and Eat Your CAD and I'm still not sure how to set up the config files. The article "Bentley Architecture Network Configuration" is confusing and funny at times ("bold text below" - what bold text?). I just want to set up a general user which points to project directories on a server and when new projects are created they go on the server. This so far has totally baffled me and I've been at this a long time - what am I missing?

When you say "a general user", do you mean you want one user that has a network workspace and one that has a local, or are you saying you want your entire workspace on the Network?

Thanks,

Jordan
