Loading MDL Applications automatically

Problem description:

How can I load MDL Applications automatically?

Solution:

Below is the workflow that needs to be followed for Loading MDL Applications automatically:

MDL Applications that require more control over OpenBuildings Designer are referred to as "initapps" after the name of the configuration variable (MS_INITAPPS) that specifies them.

 Using the Design Applications configuration variable is the preferred way to load MDL Applications automatically.

1. Select File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables to open the Configuration Variables dialog.

2. In the Category list box, select Design Applications. The controls for selecting applications for automatic loading are shown to the right in the dialog.

3. In the Available Applications list box, select an MDL Application that you want to load automatically upon start-up.
   
   
4. Click the Add button. The application's name is shown in the Applications To Load list box.
   
   
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the desired applications' names appear in the Applications To Load list box.
