    How to change the Design folder name from DGN to any other name?

      Product(s): ProStructures
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition (10.XX.00.XX)
      Area: MicroStation Basics
      Subarea: WorkSet Customization
      Original Author: Vyanktesh Nama, Bentley Product Advantage Group

    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.
