Pen Tables calls

ok now we understnd better what your trying to do..

take a look at setting up specific workspaces from the microstation manager dialog and avoid using windows explorer to load dgns.

 Then in each project is a named worked space  and on your server the workspace is defined in the microstation configuration  and in that you define  variables to point specific pentable to be used by default , printers , reference file paths, active files path, fonts linestyles etc.. its a big task to set up but you  only need one first and it becaomes the template for others  with only minor changes.

Talk to bentley help support on how to set this up or download and read alot on the tech support pages ..

I love doing it this way as some of our projects are 9 digit numbers with very long paths and I don't alway remember  what name goes with what number  weeks later  but this way  I dial up the project listing  number and a name but it doesn't change  the file folders its just the way ustn finds them .. and stuff thats project specific like client fonts  pentables, colour tables etc now are deault to each specific project... say good by  to windows explorerer..
