    How to Setup DWG Options settings for multiple users across network.

      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 08.05.00.25
      Environment:  N\A
      Area:  DWG
      Subarea:  Open

    Problem

    How to Setup DWG Options settings for multiple users across network.
    Version: 08.05.00.25
    Product: MicroStation V8 2004 Edition
    Area: DWG Open

    Solution

    The "DWG Options" settings are stored in the following file.
    "..bentley\home\prefs\dwgdata\dwgsettings.rsc"

    - Place this file on network
    - Set configuration variable "MS_DWGDATA" to point to this
      folder on the network.

    An administrator could also set "MS_DWGSYSTEMDATA" to
    point to the folder on the network.
    (This will override MS_DWGDATA, that is set at the user level)
