Default DWG-export directory

Question

Hi 
 Is there a variable to set the default directory for exporting DWG-files to in Microstation connect? I've search trough this list but I can't seem to find it: https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/24873/microstation-connect-edition-configuration-variables 
 For IFC it's: IFC_EXP_OUT and for DGN it's MS_DGNOUT but it seems there no equivalent for exporting DWG:s. 
 Regards, 
 Robert

ms_dwgout is not a valid variable. 
 _USTN_OUT is the directory used to dictate which location exported DWGs are sent to, as well as other files. 
 An option you may want to use is to define a custom variable like MS_DWGOUT and when exporting you can quickly jump to that location by using the variable: 
 
 Depending on the version of Windows it may be faster to add the desired output folder to the Windows Quick Access as well.

 Hmm, ok. If I look at it in the configuration varibles dialog it looks like this. Like like it's not really follwing. But it might does, don't know.

When a variable is set to a folder location the expansion should end in a "/" to dictate that it is a folder not a file that is being looked for.
