How to Break the Association between certain Files and a specific WorkSet

  Product(s): MicroStation
  Version(s): CONNECT
  Environment: N\A
  Area: Configuration
  Subarea: WorkSet

Background

We need to break the association between certain files and a specific WorkSet (example: MetroStation, Plant, etc)
Note: This could be applicable when for example we made the mistake of opening different files with the wrong WorkSet (example with MetroStation WorkSet) and some changes were already made in the files.

Steps to Accomplish

Important Note: Be sure that File Settings are not being saved on exit either through Preferences or some other manner. If Settings are saved when closing the file will be reassociated.

1)  Open the file (will open with the wrong WorkSet associated to it). Once the file opens you can verified in properties dialog what WorkSet was used. See image

2)              With file opened, run the Keyin: File Disassociateworkset

This will break the association with that WorkSet (MetroStation in this example). See image

3)              Close MicroStation CONNECT and open the file again, this time select the correct Workspace\WorkSet or the   No Workspace\No WorkSet if none is used. See imagen

Note: you will not get  Alert message about file being associated to the other wrong Workset anymore. You can verify by using the properties tool to see what WorkSet is the file associated to now.
