ORD Version 2 Issues Creating Sheet Definitions.dgnlib Files

I have created Sheet Definitions.dgnlib files in the past with not problem but I just went back to create some new ones and am running in to a problem.  I am able to place my named boundries just fine but when I click to except them and my "Create Drawing" pallet opens I'm missing some dropdowns altogether and others just give me one option with no dropdown.  For instance, I have no dropdown for "Discipline" or "Purpose" and for "Seed Model" it's pointing to "2D Metric Sheet.dgn" with no dropdown and this is not the seed model I want to use.  Can anyone tell me what might be the problem?  I've included a link to a short YouTube video that maybe better demonstrates the issue.

  • I was told that the two drop down menus only are available when you start the program and enter directly in to the file where you are creating the sheets.  I have not tested this for myself as of yet.

    As far as the seed file goes, you will need to define the correct workspace variables in order to default to your desired seed file.  There is a collection of variables pertaining to seed files that need to be set.

  • Marc, thanks for taking a look.  I went back this morning and reviewed all my configuration variables in the following files:

    ConfigurationSetup.cfg

    WorkSpaceSetup.cfg

    _Lane Standards.cfg (our organizations config file in the Organization-Civil folder)

    Nothing looks out of place in any of them.  Everything else seems to be working fine as well.  I see the workspaces I've created and other things we've configured.  It's only the creation of sheet definition files that isn't working. 

    I also searched both my c:\ and my project server for the seed model (2D Metric Drawing.dgn) that's being pointed to (which I don't want) and the only place it's located is on my hard drive at:  C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT 10.01.00\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Training and Examples\WorkSets\Geotechnical\Standards\seed.  I went back and checked all the config files and nothing in them points to this path or file. 

    It's all very odd and has me stumped. 

    Thanks and I hope you or someone has some further advise. 

  • Good morning all.  It's been a while and I haven't gotten any additional information or ideas on how to solve the problem I'm having creating new sheet definitions.dgnlib files and wanted to give the latest update on what I have tried and see once again if anyone had any ideas on a solution.

    Since I was able to create the desired sheet definitions.dgnlib files prior to customizing the ConfigurationSetup.cfg and WorkSpaceSetup.cfg for our server needs I decided to take a new laptop and load the "out of the box" software on it and try creating my files on it. 

    Unfortunately I got the same results.  Once I get to the "Create Drawing" menu I'm missing key dropdowns that allow me complete the process. 

    Please review the youtube video I created (see link above) and give me some ideas on how to get past this roadblock. 

    Thanks for your time and assistance.   

  • Hi Chris, it seems Sigfus has found the solution here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/148379/drawing-seed-in-ord/451702#451702

    "Changes made to the dgnlib has to be made through active workset."
