Hi all. I'm trying to do some of the Bentley Learn tutorials and they require me to set the correct workspace.
The problem is, that my program (Power Rail Track SS4) has been set up by our CAD admin. The workspace that the program goes to by default is located on a network drive. This is all fine for working on different projects for clients, but I can't seem to get it to locate the workspace required for the learn tutorials.I would like to keep the default workspace directory to the network drive, but also have a shortcut on my desktop that uses the correct workspace for the Learn tutorials. Is there a way to add a command to a shortcut so it does not load the workspace from the network drive, but the workspace located for the learn tutorials?
You need to talk to your IT. They are, most likely, redirecting the msconfig to the network. You can ask them to add the training workpace to your options or return you to out of the box installation.

Of course all of our CAD doctors are on vacation at the moment. For now I made a copy of my mslocal.cfg as backup, and modified the original from:%include msdir.cfgAT_VER_08_11_09 = 1#_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT : ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT = R:/WorkSpace/MSDIR : ${MSDIR_INSTALLED}%include $(MSDIR)config/msconfig.cfg
to:
%include msdir.cfgAT_VER_08_11_09 = 1#_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT : ${_USTN_INSTALLED_WORKSPACEROOT}_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT = C:\ProgramData/Bentley/PowerRailTrack V8i (SELECTseries 4)/WorkSpaceMSDIR : ${MSDIR_INSTALLED}%include $(MSDIR)config/msconfig.cfg
And it seem to have done the trick. I don't know if the "_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT" can be adjusted to include to paths, and I'm not sure I should mess about with it too much.
You got it! good job.
