WorkSet configurations

Couple of hopefully simple questions.

Beginning configuration of ORD

_USTN_WORKSETDGNS          = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)Dgn/

This is created in the WorkSet.CFG file. is there a way to modify the default. I would like it to be _USTN_WORKSETDGNS          = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)  because we place our design files in different folders depending on their use.l

There is a veriable USTN_WorkSpaceLABEL  that allows one to change the workspace label to something like State (USTN_WorkSpaceLABEL = State) is there one for the workset (ie workset label = Job)?

  • Hi Dan,

    As it is set up now, _USTN_WORKSETDGNS, defined in msconfig.cfg, must have a folder. The _USTN_WORKSETDGNSDIRNAME variable in msdirs.cfg defines the folder name that is placed after the file path for Design files when creating a WorkSet. If this variable is left blank or commented out, it defaults the folder name to Dgn. This is hard coded. I tested that if you remove "Dgn" from _USTN_WORKSETDGNS = $(_USTN_WORKSETROOT)Dgn/, then Design files will display Dgn as a folder because of _USTN_WORKSETDGNSDIRNAME, but if you click Browse it will browse to the WorkSet folder instead of the Dgn folder because of _USTN_WORKSETDGNS. That may be a confusing workaround. I suggest placing all of the different design folders within the _USTN_WORKSETDGNS folder. You could also create a WorkSet template to use that points to the folders you want.

    There is not a WorkSet Label variable. How are you expecting a variable like this to function?

  • Holly,

    In Reference to variable _USTN_WORKSETDGNS.

    Inside Projectwise, Does this variable copy-out all the contents of the folder?  I was planning on setting this variable in Projectwise, but I am worried it will copy out all dgns in the location every time a user opens a dgn in the workset.  If needed in Projectwise, Do we add this to the "Variables to exclude from copy-out", Or do I just ignore the variable?  I really don't see the use for the variable in Projectwise unless I use it as a search path for attaching or opening files with custom menus or the dgnws file uses it somehow.  Not a lot of info on the variable. I can see the benefit if you are working outside of Projectwise.  Please help.

    Thanks
