I am working on autocad files AND microstation files. I would like to pick one icon when I want to open an autocad file and one when I open a dgn. I have one ucf for autocad and one for Microstation, just makes life easier for me.
Any assistance is welcome
Thank you
Yes, you can have multiple MicroStation shortcuts, I usually have about 15 of them on my desktop at any given time. Like Mary said, it helps keeping different client configurations separate.
If all you are doing is specifying a different ucf file then add something like this at the end of the Target field of the shortcuts
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\MicroStation\ustation.exe" -ws_USTN_USERNAME=AutoCAD
or
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\MicroStation\ustation.exe" -ws_USTN_USERNAME=MicroStation
where the _USTN_USERNAME value is the name of your .ucf file.
For CONNECT I sometimes have different icons that set a variable to define different ROLE configurations.

I don't think you need the _USTN_USERNAME=. You just need -wsAutoCAD or -wsMicrostation.
That's how we use it.
