Hi you all,
Need some help here. This afternoon my microstation connect stopped saving the settings I had. The tools are not in place anymore and I have to activate them every time i open a file.
I get all this messages:
Cannot save user preferencesUSERPREF unloaded.Cannot save user preferencesUnable to save preferences
How do I solve this problem??
Warm regards

Which version of MicroStation?
Jorge Marques said:Cannot save user preferences
User preferences are stored in a *.upf file. Its location is determined by your version of Windows and your version of MicroStation. Configuration variable MS_USERPREF points to its location. On my computer running MicroStation CONNECT Update 14.2...
*.upf
MS_USERPREF
C:\Users\CONNECT\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\prefs\Personal.upf
If MicroStation can't save user preferences there could be multiple reasons: disk full, folder write-protected etc...

I had this issue a few days ago with MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 14 version 10.14.02.01. Fortunately as CAD Manager, I had MicroStation Powerdraft of the same version on the same hardware. After much playing around trying to find out the problem & getting nowhere, I copied the .upf from MicroStation Powerdraft to MicroStation, fired up MicroStation again & hey presto. Obviously my original MicroStation .upf got corrupt some how.
If you do not have a backup & your gets corrupt, find someone preferably with the same version of MicroStation & take a copy of theirs & edit it to suit your requirements.
Note to self!. Backup your preferences etc just in case you need to recover things.
Hello, how do you edit the upf file? thanks!
You don’t edit the file manually. The file gets updated when you make settings changes in the preferences dialog.
Thanks! I did that already, and my settings still does not hold. I just thought that there's another way to edit which would make my settings hold. I am still getting the USERPREF unloaded message.
I've never seen that error, so I don't know if its just a CONNECT issue or not. If the problem is with your UPF file, do a test by moving it out of the folder where it's currently stored to somewhere safe, and then start up MicroStation. A new UPF file will be created in its place and you would need to configure any preferences that you would normally use. After closing the preferences, see if you get the same error. If you don't, it could be your original UPF is corrupted.
