New to Dynamic Managed Workspaces.. Getting workspace standards to load?

The KDOT workspace cfg sets these variables up to use as a basis for loading standards

_KDOT_WORKSPACESTANDARDS=$(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)
_KDOT_WORKSPACEROOT = $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)
_KDOT_WORKSPACESROOT = $(_USTN_WORKSPACESROOT)
_KDOT_Civil = $(_KDOT_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)_Civil/

I had to replace those with our own values, but since I don't use the dynamic workspace I'm not really sure how to handle that inside of that.

Yeah, i'm not looking forward to that. I may have shot myself in the foot. Fortunately i retained their directory structure, but i did rework their config files quite a bit to use a single cfg file.

I added an include in my CSB to the KDOT.cfg. Now I am getting some specifics from that location. However, my downloaded version of the workspace is in a different dms folder. As you can see the MS_DGNLIBLIST_TEXTSTYLES is pointing to dm32498 but the actual downloaded dms is dm32586. What is controlling the dms location?

what is the actual definition of MS_DGNLIBLIST_TEXTSTYLES, not the exapnsion?

when you point a variable at a projectwise path, projectwise maps that to the working directory dms location of that folder.

If you point a CSB variable at a projectwise folder, the managed workspace uses that folder's GUID to identify the folder. If you delete that folder and replace it with a folder of the same name the variable will still point at the older folder value.

Example:

With that setup, if I delete the Feature Definitions folder, and create a new Feature Definitions folder, the csb variable will be wrong.

To work around this, point the CSB variable at one folder up from folder you want, and add the folder name in the string value to append:

Now if you delete the Feature Definitions folder and replace it, the CSB will point to the new folder without any adjustments.

This is the reason I only define 1 ProjectWise Folder variable and all other variables build off it as strings.

in that example, BASIC_ROOT is a ProjectWise Folder variable i would create in PreDefined. Now because everything is built from strings instead of GUID, it will point at the correct folder.

Are you doing anything with the "WorkSets" portion of ORD? Not sure if there is a benefit in moving the projects to the "Work Sets" folder???
