Compress your UPF file
Original Tip Date:
Nov. 25, 2003
Compress your UPF file
If you set
MS_COMPRESS_USER_PREFS = 1
it will cause MicroStation V8.5 to detect UPF files that are larger than 500K and compress them.
Sam Wilson
points out that
MS_COMPRESS_USER_PREFS
is set by default in MicroStation 08.05.01.xx but not the earlier versions. Also, to turn this feature off, you can un-set this configuration variable.
