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
Paul Wagner: 6. Run the shortcut, using this shortcut the program is now looking to the network for the workspace. To test the workspace, in the MicroStation Manager, set the User to TriForma and the Project to ArchProjectTemplateNcsUS: 7. Open the file 'empty.dgn' and go to the Workspace pull-down menu. Select 'About Workspace". In our example I can see that the User Configuration, the Project and the User Interface are utilizing the network workspace.

I am not getting the correct network paths on any of these categories...
they are pathed to another network folder
(made with assistance of my office IT manager, through a very long and frustrating process...which is why I am giving this process a shot, as it seems to be far simpler)
what config file(s) control(s) the paths to the user/project/interface drop-down menus?
David, we are not finished. Just got busy and hadn't had time to get back to it.
Look for something up soon, compiling some of this thread and more.
Thanks
Paul
Hey Paul - are we finished with this thread?

Mark Harrington: Great information here! Thanks, Paul. In order to try to keep down the server activity and open files, I used this: _USTN_SYSTEMROOT = $(_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT)system/ To point back to the system directory on the local drive, the content of which we NEVER modify, so might as well get them from C: as from a network drive. You might be using some .rsc and seed files from this location.

Very good. I like it.
tcfonts: Thanks for your help... Just a minor point - but Number 3 on your post of 06-21 reads: 3. Make another edit to the network atflocal.cfg file to include the newly created tflocal.cfg file. In our example I am editing the line that states: %include tflocal.cfg to state this: %include $(_MY_COMPANY_NETWORK)tflocal.cfg. Shouldn't it read: 3. Make another edit to the network atflocal.cfg file to include the newly created tflocal.cfg file. In our example I am editing the line that states: %include tflocal.cfg to state this: %include $(_MY_COMPANY_NETWORK)Workspace/tflocal.cfg. to match what is shown in the file screen cap?

That is correct!! Thanks, I will edit the original post to fix that error. As I mentioned in one of the notes, be careful as one typo can cause it not to work...
