Problem Description

Design Folder under the WorkSet keeps naming as 'DGN' where I would like it to call a 'MODEL'. How can I do that?

Steps to resolve

Please follow the below steps to achieve this.

1. First, create a Model folder in your WorkSet folder. For example, I have created a Model folder in my ExampleAU WorkSet folder of the Australian WorkSpace.

2. Go to the following path and open your WorkSet.cfg file. In my case, I am opening the ExampleAU.cfg file.

Path: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\<WorkSpace Name>\WorkSets

3. Now, customize the following configuration variable as shown in the below image.

_USTN_WORKSETDGNS = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)/Model

Save the file and close it.

4. Then open the new DGN file and check the path for configuration variable MS_DEF, which should point to the Model folder as shown in the below image.

In this way, we can achieve this.
