Getting tired of having to reset your user preferences after you've deleted your UPF file? If so, then utilize MS_USERPREFSEED.Here's how:Set up your preferences the way you like them.Copy that UPF file to a different location.[Optional] Change the extension to SPF.Finally, point MS_USERPREFSEED to this new file.The next time you delete your UPF, MicroStation will create a new one based on the seed file above.
Note: if you set this variable at the project or site level, then you can use it to create UPFs for other workspaces as well.With thanks to Samir Haque for this tip!
