How to set up user prefs for org-civil company folder

See this link regarding the SPF https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/askinga/w/askinga/1098/set-up-a-seed-file-for-your-upf-file 

Thanks but this is for MicroStation, I need ORD and far as i can tell this is not defined in any config .cfg. 

After further work, I have identified OpenRoads Designer_Metric.upf as a file that retains certain settings I want to propagate across the network. I can control my local OpenRoadsDesigner_Metric.upf file in C:\Users\<MYNAME>\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenRoadsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs but there is an identical file in my C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil\Preference Seeds.  How can I configure ORD to point to my Organisation/Civil file instead of the local AppData?

A second part to my question is what a) Personal.upf does and how do i change it? and b) is the Organization-Civil preferences.spf analogous to Personal.upf in C:\Users\<MYNAME>\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenRoadsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs

as initially stated, neither of these files are referenced to in my orgnization-civil or workspace/workset cfg files, and i cannot find any documentation on ORD spf/upf files

Hi Mark,

ORD works the same as MicroStation where it uses MS_USERPREFSEED (defined at the system level) to define the location of the SPF file that is used as a seed to create new UPF files. MS_USERPREF (defined in the CFGs in the Organization-Civil folder) is used to define the location of the UPF file.

The personal.upf retains changes made when you use the preferences dialog in the software, however in your case the configuration is probably updating the OpenRoadsDesigner_Metric.upf due to the workspace you have set active.
