    Using AECOsim update 4, missing workspace / workset not found alert, preventing file from being opened. Has anyone seen this message before? Cheers Chris

  • RE: WorkSet template in AECOsim CE

    Hi Joaquin, Out of the box the delivered WorkSets will be available as templates. Once a custom Workspace is added these will not be available as the variable specifying the template location looks in the active workspace unless modified: _USTN_WORKSETTEMPLATE…
  • RE: Workspace template in AECOsim CE

    Hi Joaquin, Please take a look at the "WorkSet Templates" feature. This is a Technology Preview (installed by default unless deselected during installtion) in the inital ABD CE release available in the Create WorkSet Dialog. Out of the box you can use…

    Being new to ABD, Please can someone instruct me on how to add the animation tool set(settings, actors, cameras and schedule simulation) to my task panel. My ABD doesnt seem to point to any dgnlib file as they are all greyed out in the customisation dialog…

  • Re: Duplicate Catalogs

    Yeah.... Mine's OK too. Matt, did you add any customized files to the delivered dataset or project folders? If you look at the Workspace Config dialog, does it look like all the TFDIR and ATFDIR variables are pointing to *only* the delivered locations
  • BBES.INI file configuration

    Is there a way to set a BBES variable to point to a BBES.INI file on the server instead of the local file? I know the BBESBIN variable points to the folder in general, but I'm looking for a way to separate it out. Thanks, …
  • Re: Multiple workspaces - configuration

    As we can see there are many ways to set up client specific, company specific, dataset specific configurations. A lot of what I see CAD/BIM managers doing is setting up shortcuts for each specific workspace, each shortcut points to a specfic configuration…

    No sorry, i don't know. no Knowledge in program. I have just make a config from V82004 to V8I and make some basics macro. i am just a little Draftsman who have pb to work in 3D because somethings (i expose that in a message before) that work in triforma…
  • Re: Determining APPLICATION with variable

    You can also use _USTN_ECAPPL, at least for building apps since each one defines a different value. Or any of the "DIR" variables such as ATFDIR, BBESDIR, HVACDIR or STFDIR. Lots of ways to skin a cat! Though I think setting variables may be preferable…
  • AECOsim Building Designer SS4 V8i 8.11.09.593

    Hi,I want to set the configuration of AECOsim Building Designer so that if connected to our network it looks at the server workspace, and if it's not connected it looks locally. Any Help please!
  • Re: loading assembly library

    Correct, that message is stating that the DGS portion of the dataset is being loaded. As to why it is suddenly slower to load, I can't answer that. To eliminate your network from the equation you could temporarily move all files local and repoint. If…
  • Re: Problems running the latest Mechanical V8XM and V8i with Microsoft 7 PRO

    Unknown said: Mark, do you anything similar to this? We recently overhauled and set up a new V8i workspace on the server and it is almost completely read only with the exception of a few files/folders such as the metadata folder within the BBES…
  • Re: Determining APPLICATION with variable

    Yes, that's the idea. As far as loading the building suite... good question! It may be possible to use some type of "and" condition so that you can test for multipe results, but this is reaching the limits of what I know about workspace configuration…
  • architecture local sets bring in V8i

    I am running bentles Arch on the V8i plattform with the enlish architcture connected to the german data set from the xm. I copied the XM ArchDatasetDE in my V8i Workspace and linked the .pcf file to that arch_roles.cfg file. It works in general, but there…
  • Re: Network Databasing

    Hello Isaac, Setting up MicroStation and the BIM applications to run on a network is done via configuration files. And the whole thing is referred to as "a workspace" or "the workspace". So an office workspace configuration is what you are after…
  • Structural Modeler Version warning

    How can we permanently get rid of this message that keeps coming up when opening up a drawing that was done in a previous version, when opening it up in the latest version? The message will pop up again next time you open the same drawing even though…
  • Re: Determining APPLICATION with variable

    That seems to be a dead link... Anyhow, you are correct in that _USTN_TFROOT is a variable in itself, and not a hard coded value. However, it's the program side of the application, not the workspace, so I'd imagine it would be fairly consistent…
