Create shortcut that point to only a single file.

Hi All,

I want to create a shortcut to point only to a file that I want to open anytime. This will allow the user to direct to his file and not missed up the location of it.

  • Hi Jun,

    MicroStation command line arguments is probably the solution you are looking for. You can check "Command Line Arguments" chapter in MicroStation help for more details.

    If talking about to open the specific file, you should ... and if using Bentley Map (as I guess because you asked in Geospatial Desktop forum) you have to ... define also waht workspace (user / project / interface) will be used to open the file. So the question is not only about the file, but about how to start Bentley Map with defined workspace and file.

    Using standard delivered Bentley Map example, if you want to open 'my work.dgn" using geo_example_designer user (project definition is not used in BM configuration), you should use this link:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\MapStandalone V8i\MapStandalone\MapStandalone.exe" -wugeo_example_designer "my work.dgn"

    With regards,
