Steel for MicroStation CONNECT Edition

Following up on this blog at https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/steel-now-available-for-microstation-connect-users it refers to a location of the files to be copied to |MicroStation\mdlapps\

I don't have this folder in our server location which CE points to. The closest I have is "\Organization\Mdlapps"! Do I copy all the steel files to this location? 

Bentley - Could you advise on this.

  • The key doesn't work and it is not shown in Utilities>MDL Applications!

    MicroStation looks for applications in the folder(s) pointed to by configuration variable MS_MDLAPPS.  By default, MS_MDLAPPS points to ..\MicroStation\mdlapps.

    You can put applications anywhere that MicroStation can find them, including network locations.

    Create a MDLAPPS folder to your Organisation folder and copy the files into this

    MicroStation isn't telepathic.  It doesn't know that you've created another mdlapps folder.  Edit your configuration and extend MS_MDLAPPS to include your network mdlapps location.  Use the append syntax...

    MS_MDLAPPS > //ServerName/folders/Organization/Mdlapps/

    Substitute your server name and any other required folders in the above path.  The account where MicroStation is running must have Windows read + execute access to that folder.
