I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminology. I'm used to using Civil3D where I can create a "workspace" where my properties manager, layers manager, xref manager, etc. automatically open whenever the program opens. I haven't figured out if there's a way to do that in Microstation, so I have I open the Properties window, Level Manager, Reference window, etc. each time I open it. Is there a way to set it up where they will open automatically?
I'm running Microstation Connect on Windows 10.
Hi Aaron,
You can dock them and pin them in place or you can use a VBA macro to run key-ins to subsequently make the dialogs appear, (if the dialogs are undocked, their locations would hopefully appear where they were when last visible).
That sort of thing should be saving into your preferences. If they aren't, then you may need to look into your configuration, or have your CAD manager check into that.

Alright, I was unaware of the docking. I think that's because I'm using 2 monitors, and the dialog boxes I want to keep open are "floating" on the 2nd monitor. As far as I can tell, there's not a way to dock them on that monitor.
I don't know anything about VBA macros. Is there any documentation somewhere on it?
Unfortunately, we're a small office with less than 10 people, so we don't really have a CAD manager. It doesn't save when I click the "save settings" icon.
Save Settings saves design file settings, not environment settings; that's why that isn't working.
I can dock dialogs on either of my two monitors, but I'm using a different version of MicroStation. You SHOULD be able to, but I've seen enough strange bugs and glitches with Connect...
There are a few dialog boxes that can only be docked to certain locations. This article has a list toward the bottom.
