[U15] CONNECT EDITION MS_DGNLIBLIST_ITEMTYPES

I tried setting the configuration variable values as suggested and MicroStation loads. I edited the values through the Configuration Variables dialog from inside a MicroStation session.

Where exactly are you setting this variable. Can you try generating an MSDEBUG file of your configuration and share.

From what Mark said, it appears to work as I had assumed. Thanks Mark.

The setting is configured in the Workspace CFG file, alongside my DGNLIBLIST.

In the example, they both resolve to the same, seer path location. Below is my section of CFG

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DgnLibs:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
MS_DGNLIBLIST = $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)DgnLib/*.dgnlib
MS_DGNLIBLIST_ITEMTYPES = $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)DgnLib/*.dgnlib

1. leave the last line in, Microstation will open, but crash when opening a file.
2. remove the last line (or # it out), restart Microstation, it loads the file OK and operates.
3. alter the last line to point to a specific file or files, as per Mark's example, restart Microstation, it loads the file OK and operates.

However, option 3 assumes there is no file matching the search. If a file exists, I get the error as above.

Still working through. Watch this space.
BTW has ANYONE got this working properly?

I give up. Going back to U14. Too many new issues to list and solve. I cannot spend the time any longer trying to do Bentley's bug finding for them.

Sounds defeatist? It is. No apology for this.

The old adage "wait for at least 2 fixes to every major release before upgrading" seems sound advice these days.

If someone from Bentley tech team wants to view a demonstration of my specific issue, let me know by email and I will gladly take them through the issue (after reinstalling U15) at some mutually convienient time.
But I cannot resolve this through forums. For one thing, everyone uses ITEMTYPES in a different manner, and there is probably some minuscule thing between us all that works with U14, but will not in U15 on my system.

Well it might work if you just delete it. But I don't think /GUI is the right place.

Typo. Corrected.

Was correct in the CFG. But even if was incorrect in the CFG, Microstation shouldn't crash, just report an error or missing folder.

Kindly share the MSDEBUG file of your configuration.

Good Point
