Hello everyone.
I have created a dgnlib file. I want other users to be able to use this file not from local C, but from a single point i.e. server . Is this possible?
It is possible - actually, it is very common.
The configuration variable MS_DGNLIBLIST tells MicroStation to include a DGNLIB file automatically. You would need to create a configuration file to define that variable to include your DGNLIB and distribute that to everyone, or they will need that variable set in their own configurations. You can read more about that in the Help documents.

Without question, Yes!
More generally, MicroStation is designed to be used in a network. The key to understanding how that all works is MicroStation's configuration variables.
In your case, define one of the variables that points to Windows folder(s) (e.g. MS_DGNLIBLIST) where your DGN library is kept.
MS_DGNLIBLIST

Set the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable to point to the network file as shown below.MS_DGNLIBLIST > N:\Networklocation\Project1\Project1.dgnlib
Remember you can have seperate DGNLIBs for various features as in the following example.MS_DGNLIBLIST_LEVELS > N:\Networklocation\Project1\Project1Levels.dgnlibMS_DGNLIBLIST_ITEMTYPES > N:\Networklocation\Project1\Project1It.dgnlib
Check DGNLIB on Learn Server
Set these varaibles in the Personal.UCF file in location %localappdata%\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\prefs\e.g. C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\10.0.0\prefs\
Note: Network issues can result in performance issues. In these cases you can copy the DGNLIB to local machines via a start up script.
Thanks for your answers, this information worked for me.
So how can I do this over the internet for my friends who work in home office?
Do they have access to the office network from home? Do you have a workspace shared over the network or only locally on each users PC?
