Technical Support does not traditionally provide instructions to move a workspacein the event that something happens we may or may not be able to assist with acustomized workspace.
However, here are some quick tips, this should help you.
Rule #1 be sure to make notes in any file that you change, by adding a #sign at the start of a line, this will prevent MS from reading it, you can makea note in a Configuration (CFG) File like this:
#make note here
You will need to do two things to get your workspace to be moved, in theeasiest way.Move it, and tell MicroStation where you put it :)
First, go to here:C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<MicroStation>\WorkSpace\
If you do not see this folder please refer to this article:
http://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/windows-explorer-programdata-folder
Copy the Workspace Folder and ALL of its contents to the location on yournetwork you would like the Workspace folder to be, i.e., \\Sever\Folder\Workspace\Always Copy, never Move (you will want to ensure the original files remain, in caseyou decide to switch back
Second, tell MicroStation where you would like it to look for the Workspace folder.
In the mslocal.cfg file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\<MicroStation>\config\mslocal.cfg)Open that file with Notepad (BEFORE EDITING THE mslocal.cfg FILE MAKE A COPY OF THIS FILE).There should be a line of text that reads:_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT : ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}Add a line above that line for notes thenCopy the line, so there is a second one, exactly the sameAdd a # symbol to the blank line, and to the first line of _USTN_WORKSPACEROOT: ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}It should look like this:
%include msdir.cfg##_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT : ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT : ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}MSDIR : ${MSDIR_INSTALLED}%include $(MSDIR)config/msconfig.cfg
Then add the note, that the workspace has been moved to the network, with the dateAnd in the second _USTN_WORKSPACEROOT, delete everything after the : sign, andpoint to your new location. Should look like this:
%include msdir.cfg#workspace has been moved to the network, 11/12/2013#_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT : ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT = \\Sever\Folder\Workspace\MSDIR : ${MSDIR_INSTALLED}%include $(MSDIR)config/msconfig.cfg
Save the mslocal.cfg, and launch MicroStation,it should work perfectly.
In the information above, please replace<MicroStation> with the correct installed path/ folders of your machine
