I recently switched to Microstation SS4 and am having some issues with the preferences saving.
Upon start up of the program, it will default to the "examples" user every time no matter which user was used last. It will also only save Microstation preferences (ie mouse configuration, dual screens, or auto table settings) when working under the "examples" user. This is an issue because I need to set up a personal user and have the local DOT as the project. When I am in a created user .ucf with the DOT set as my project, it will not save any Microstation settings. Upon closing Microstation, the date modified will update on the .ucf file I have created, but the next time I enter Microstation, all of the settings I configured will be lost.
I have tried deleting the "examples.ucf" and force it to start up with the user created .ucf, but it gives an coding error and will not start up Microstation until I restore the "Examples.ucf".
Is there any way I can set my Microstation up to start up and save preferences with the .ucf file of my choice. The "examples" user has no value to me because it does not have any of the DOT configurations which I work in exclusively.
Thanks,
Brandon
I can give you a hint - it's about your workspace configuration. You will need to get that set up (Site, Standards, Project, Etc.) so that Microstation knows where to look for your files. You may be creating files, but they are not being created in the correct location for Microstation to find and use them. We use a "redirect" configuration file to point Microstation to our network, where we store all of our user files and CAD standards.
This is a big topic, and there's a lot to it, if you don't know how to set up a configuration. The MicroStation board is a good place to start, but the Product Administration board may be even more help.

Thanks, I'll post it over there as well.
It would be probably better to post this to the MicroStation forum, not the Civil forum - however, you may well get a a learned member able to answer your query here.
