I get this error message when I hit 'Run' in Bentley Geospatial Administrator. How do I fix this problem?
"Cannot locate default SHX font(s) (defined as 'msdefault'). Please ensure that one can be found in MS_FONTPATH or MS_DWGFONTPATH, or modify the font configuration file to specify a different default. Program must now exit!"
Am I supposed to fix this in Geospatial Administrator.
Thanks,
Dan
This is something that is caused or fixed by the GSA. The variable MS_FONTPATH should point to the folder with the msdefault.shx.Check whether the file msdefault.shx is available in the workspace folder ..\workspace\System\Fonts\ (that is were this variable most likely points to). Maybe you are using a workspace from an older MS version.
I do have the msdefault.shx in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\System\Fonts. Is that correct?

I'm starting from scratch with little training. I've been working with MicroStation and Geopak for a number of years. I started a new position in GIS and we are working in Arc Pro and exporting to print in MicroStation. Inga sent me a link to the videos in the Bentley Learn page, but I need some more instructions. Do you have any good learning paths for setting up in Map?
Dan Messerich, PLS
Define the new variable in the Macros section of the User Workspaces in the Schema, as-shown here:
Thanks Dan That got me one step closer to figuring this software out!
