Specify the folder for msdebug.txt

Specify the folder for msdebug.txt
When running a debug on MicroStation, it creates the resulting msdebug.txt file in the same folder that contains ustation.exe. However, if you set a system environment variable called MSCFGVAROUT to an alternate output folder, it will be created there instead. For example, go to the Command Prompt, change the folder to the location of ustation.exe and enter the following commands: set MS_CFGVAROUT = c:\temp\ ustation -debug Note: MS_CFGVAROUT is a system environment variable since it must be set before the MicroStation configuration files are processed. In addition, setting this variable as shown is only temporary. Closing the Command Prompt window dismisses it. With thanks to Barry Bentley for sharing this on the discussion groups.
