In CE17 there seems to be another layer of messy configuration options bar in already confusing config jungle. How can I get rid of them? Our Microstaton users no need to access any example configs as we use our company workspace only. Therefore I would like to turn obsolete items off so that only our own config options would be visible. What's the point making the GUI more complicated? Who needs this?
Documentation is here: Creating and Managing Configurations (bentley.com). The XML syntax is not currently included in help. It is covered by this new blog: Configuration Tips - Manage Configuration Utility.
Configurations are stored in C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\prefs\configuration.xml.
This file can be copied to any users provided that the path(s) stored in the XML for each configuration is/are valid for each user.
The example configuration can be hidden by editing the XML, set the IsActive statement to false:
<IsActive>false</IsActive>
Development is continuing to work on this feature so these comments will be taken note of.
This feature was introduced in response to demand from our users for multiple configurations and does offer a more flexible mechanism for control of configurations, we need to do some further work to address the questions in this thread.

Marc
What's the best way to suggest changes to this feature? Microstation ideas site, post on communities or open a service request?
