Unmanaged ProjectWise - Controlling Workspace

Hello,

Working on another companies PW server and they are not using managed workspaces.
I am pointing my folks to the workspace using TOOLS > ASSOCIATION > PROGRAMS and modifying the command line to start the workspace.
This works fine until someone needs to use the workspace of another client. Then it's back to TOOLS > ASSOCIATION > PROGRAMS.... This is clunky at best.
Is there better way to do this?

Thanks,

Tom F.

how is the other company defining what workspace should be used? For example we set the Project Configuration File Name field on the MicroStation Settings tab of the Workspace Profile. If the company you're working with does the same, then create a PCF file at the same location your other PCFs go with the same name the other company says to use. Inside that PCF you can do whatever you want including a %include of your real workspace.

your users would then just open the files normally in projectwise and your PCF, named the same as theirs but with different content, would be loaded.

Kevin,

Gotcha. How do I check this from PW explorer? Riight Click on the folder and go to Properties (don't have access to the project myself)

Thanks,

Tom F.

Can't remember if this is a user setting, but right-click the folder > properties. THen click the WorkSpace tab. The drop down should default to WorkSpace Profile. Under MicroStation-specific settings are what it sets when launching microstation.

The workspace profile can be changed on a folder by folder basis, so best to check the folders with the files that will be opened.
