&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;gt; $(SISNET_PRINTPREP_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally the MS_DGNLIBLIST path will look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST =&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;$(SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB);$(SISNET_DISABLEITEMS_DGNLIB); $(SISNET_NAMEDEXPR_DGNLIB);$(SISNET_TEMPLATES_DGNLIB);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt; $(_USTN_SYSTEMROOT)dgnlib\ModelTransparency.dgnlib;C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\system\dgnlib\ClashDetection.dgnlib $(_USTN_USERINT)$(_USTN_USERINTNAME)\*.dgnlib;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff99cc;"&gt;$(MS_GEOPRINTPREP_DGNLIB); $(SISNET_PRINTPREP_DGNLIB);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;$(_ustn_site)sisnet\*.dgnlib&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can recognize the different DGN Lib attachments: &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;sisNET&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;MicroStation&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff99cc;"&gt;PrintPreparation (sisNET adjusted)&lt;/span&gt; and finally the &lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;SITE&lt;/span&gt; one. The SITE DGN Lib extension is project dependent and could derive from a SISSITE.CFG file. (e.g. MS_DGNLIBLIST &amp;gt; $(_ustn_site)sisnet/*.dgnlib)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Customizing sisNET workspace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Custom tools, toolboxes, tasks, workflows are created and stored in DGN libraries. When you open or create a DGN file you can see and use all the customizations in the configured DGN libraries&lt;i&gt;. If the open DGN file is not a configured DGN library, you cannot use the features on the Tools tab in the Customize dialog while that DGN file is open&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;(The configuration variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST (set by default to point to MS_DGNLIBLIST and to the DGN libraries in the active interface component&amp;#39;s folder) and the configuration variable _USTN_SYSTEM_GUIDGNLIBLIST specify which files can be used for customizations.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Create proper editing environment&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;if you intend to use predefined sisNET Named Expression, copy the SISNET_NAMED_EXPR.DGNLIB file into a MicroStation folder which is part of MS_DGNLIBLIST path (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Interfaces\MicroStation\default )&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ensure editing capabilities&lt;/b&gt;: To enable customization of an open DGN file (DGNLIB file) which is not a configured DGN library (not contained in MS_DGNLIBLIST) you can add the following line to your configuration file (.ucf):&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;_USTN_CAPABILITY &amp;lt;+CAPABILITY_UI_LOADFROMACTIVEFILE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you add it to &lt;i&gt;msgeo.ucf&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;untitled.ucf&lt;/i&gt; you will be able to customize each DGNLIB file that you open by double-clicking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Adding tools, toolboxes and tasks to sisNET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside your customizing environment, create a new DGN library for your enhancements . A DGN library has the same file format as a DGN file, except that it has a different file extension. The recommended file extension is *.dgnlib. The procedure for creating a DGN library, either by creating a new file from the beginning or by copying an existing file and saving it with a new name, is the same as for any DGN file. The shared resources in a DGN library are created using MicroStation tools, the same way they are created in a DGN file. For details on this please read the chapter &amp;ldquo;Building DGN Libraries&amp;rdquo; in the MicroStation help file. For details on how to create tools, toolboxes and tasks you can start with the chapter &amp;ldquo;Customize dialog&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Copy your new created DGN library into your SITE folder making it available to all project users. If you want to create resources that will be available only to one user, extend the MS_DGNLIBLIST path in users .UCF file and save it accordingly. A personal DGN library can contain only user interface modifications: customizations of tools, toolboxes, tasks, and menus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Modifying sisNET tasks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to customize sisNET tasks - adjust existing ones or replace them with new ones based on sisNET tools - you will have to create a copy of the SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB file and make the modifications inside it. To make the new DGN Lib available to all users, modify your DATENBESTAND.SISCFG file by adding the following line:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = path to you modified copy of SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB &amp;nbsp;(e.g. SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = $(_ustn_site)/sisNET/mysisnet_tools.dgnlib)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to make it available only to one user modify its .UCF file in the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tips and hints:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be aware that this is applicable only for sisNET versions higher than 8.11.07.116. In older versions you have to modify the complete MS_DGNLIBLIST path accordingly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also be aware that modifying sisNET tasks in this way bears the risk of decoupling from updates (new versions)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you&amp;nbsp;want to use the old WERK toolbox (NOT recommended !) you have to set the SISNET_USE_STANDALONETOOLBOX = 1 in one of your CFG files.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;sisNET V8i is delivered with a set of DGN Libraries which contains templates, cells, tasks and named expressions. Some of the tasks replace the &amp;lsquo;old&amp;rsquo; WERK, WKSM toolboxes other enhance the PrintPreparation functionality. They are context based configured using named expressions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here an excerpt from the SISNET.CFG showing how the delivered DGN Libraries have been integrated in MicroStation environment (current state as of 8.11.07.116):&lt;/p&gt;

If the open DGN file is not a configured DGN library, you cannot use the features on the Tools tab in the Customize dialog while that DGN file is open&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;(The configuration variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST (set by default to point to MS_DGNLIBLIST and to the DGN libraries in the active interface component&amp;#39;s folder) and the configuration variable _USTN_SYSTEM_GUIDGNLIBLIST specify which files can be used for customizations.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Create proper editing environment&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;if you intend to use predefined sisNET Named Expression, copy the SISNET_NAMED_EXPR.DGNLIB file into a MicroStation folder which is part of MS_DGNLIBLIST path (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Interfaces\MicroStation\default )&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ensure editing capabilities&lt;/b&gt;: To enable customization of an open DGN file (DGNLIB file) which is not a configured DGN library (not contained in MS_DGNLIBLIST) you can add the following line to your configuration file (.ucf):&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;_USTN_CAPABILITY &amp;lt;+CAPABILITY_UI_LOADFROMACTIVEFILE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you add it to &lt;i&gt;msgeo.ucf&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;untitled.ucf&lt;/i&gt; you will be able to customize each DGNLIB file that you open by double-clicking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Adding tools, toolboxes and tasks to sisNET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside your customizing environment, create a new DGN library for your enhancements . A DGN library has the same file format as a DGN file, except that it has a different file extension. The recommended file extension is *.dgnlib. The procedure for creating a DGN library, either by creating a new file from the beginning or by copying an existing file and saving it with a new name, is the same as for any DGN file. The shared resources in a DGN library are created using MicroStation tools, the same way they are created in a DGN file. For details on this please read the chapter &amp;ldquo;Building DGN Libraries&amp;rdquo; in the MicroStation help file. For details on how to create tools, toolboxes and tasks you can start with the chapter &amp;ldquo;Customize dialog&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Copy your new created DGN library into your SITE folder making it available to all project users. If you want to create resources that will be available only to one user, extend the MS_DGNLIBLIST path in users .UCF file and save it accordingly. A personal DGN library can contain only user interface modifications: customizations of tools, toolboxes, tasks, and menus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Modifying sisNET tasks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to customize sisNET tasks - adjust existing ones or replace them with new ones based on sisNET tools - you will have to create a copy of the SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB file and make the modifications inside it. To make the new DGN Lib available to all users, modify your DATENBESTAND.SISCFG file by adding the following line:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = path to you modified copy of SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB &amp;nbsp;(e.g. SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = $(_ustn_site)/sisNET/mysisnet_tools.dgnlib)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to make it available only to one user modify its .UCF file in the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;!! Be aware that this is applicable only for sisNET versions higher than 8.11.07.116. In older versions you have to modify the complete MS_DGNLIBLIST path accordingly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Also be aware that modifying sisNET tasks in this way bears the risk of decoupling from updates (new versions)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;sisNET V8i is delivered with a set of DGN Libraries which contains templates, cells, tasks and named expressions. Some of the tasks replace the &amp;lsquo;old&amp;rsquo; WERK, WKSM toolboxes other enhance the PrintPreparation functionality. They are context based configured using named expressions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here an excerpt from the SISNET.CFG showing how the delivered DGN Libraries have been integrated in MicroStation environment (current state as of 8.11.07.116):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;%if !defined (_SISVIEW_)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;SISNET_TEMPLATES_DGNLIB = $(SIS_ROOT)/defaults/sisnet.dgnlib&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST &amp;lt; $(SISNET_TEMPLATES_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;SISNET_NAMEDEXPR_DGNLIB = $(SIS_ROOT)/defaults/sisnet_named_expr.dgnlib&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST &amp;lt; $(SISNET_NAMEDEXPR_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;SISNET_DISABLEITEMS_DGNLIB = $(SIS_ROOT)/defaults/sisnet_disable_items.dgnlib&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST &amp;lt; $(SISNET_DISABLEITEMS_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = $(SIS_ROOT)/defaults/$(sis_language)/sisnet_tools.dgnlib&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST &amp;lt; $(SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;%else&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;_USTN_SYSTEMDGNLIBLIST=&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;SISNET_SISVIEW_DGNLIB = $(sis_root)/defaults/$(sis_language)/sisview_menu.dgnlib&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST = $(SISNET_SISVIEW_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;%endif&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And here an excerpt from SISPRINTPREP.CFG showing how the enhanced PrintPrep DGNLib has been integrated in MicroStation environment:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_GEOPRINTPREP_DGNLIB&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; =&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;%lock MS_GEOPRINTPREP_DGNLIB&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;# place sisNET enhanced print preparation tasks at the end of the task navigation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;SISNET_PRINTPREP_DGNLIB&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = $(sis_root)/defaults/$(sis_language)/PrintPrep.dgnlib&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;gt; $(SISNET_PRINTPREP_DGNLIB)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally the MS_DGNLIBLIST path will look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MS_DGNLIBLIST =$(SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB);$(SISNET_DISABLEITEMS_DGNLIB);$(SISNET_NAMEDEXPR_DGNLIB);$(SISNET_TEMPLATES_DGNLIB);&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$(_USTN_SYSTEMROOT)dgnlib\ModelTransparency.dgnlib;C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\system\dgnlib\ClashDetection.dgnlib $(_USTN_USERINT)$(_USTN_USERINTNAME)\*.dgnlib; $(MS_GEOPRINTPREP_DGNLIB); $(SISNET_PRINTPREP_DGNLIB);$(_ustn_site)sisnet\*.dgnlib&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can recognize the different DGN Lib attachments: sisNET, MicroStation, PrintPreparation (sisNET adjusted) and finally the SITE one. The SITE DGN Lib extension is project dependent and could derive from a SISSITE.CFG file. (e.g. MS_DGNLIBLIST &amp;gt; $(_ustn_site)sisnet/*.dgnlib)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Customizing sisNET workspace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Custom tools, toolboxes, tasks, workflows are created and stored in DGN libraries. When you open or create a DGN file you can see and use all the customizations in the configured DGN libraries&lt;i&gt;. If the open DGN file is not a configured DGN library, you cannot use the features on the Tools tab in the Customize dialog while that DGN file is open&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;(The configuration variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST (set by default to point to MS_DGNLIBLIST and to the DGN libraries in the active interface component&amp;#39;s folder) and the configuration variable _USTN_SYSTEM_GUIDGNLIBLIST specify which files can be used for customizations.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Create proper editing environment&lt;/b&gt;: &amp;nbsp;if you intend to use predefined sisNET Named Expression, copy the SISNET_NAMED_EXPR.DGNLIB file into a MicroStation folder which is part of MS_DGNLIBLIST path (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Interfaces\MicroStation\default )&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ensure editing capabilities&lt;/b&gt;: To enable customization of an open DGN file (DGNLIB file) which is not a configured DGN library (not contained in MS_DGNLIBLIST) you can add the following line to your configuration file (.ucf):&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;_USTN_CAPABILITY &amp;lt;+CAPABILITY_UI_LOADFROMACTIVEFILE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you add it to &lt;i&gt;msgeo.ucf&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;untitled.ucf&lt;/i&gt; you will be able to customize each DGNLIB file that you open by double-clicking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Adding tools, toolboxes and tasks to sisNET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside your customizing environment, create a new DGN library for your enhancements . A DGN library has the same file format as a DGN file, except that it has a different file extension. The recommended file extension is *.dgnlib. The procedure for creating a DGN library, either by creating a new file from the beginning or by copying an existing file and saving it with a new name, is the same as for any DGN file.

For details on how to create tools, toolboxes and tasks you can start with the chapter &amp;ldquo;Customize dialog&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Copy your new created DGN library into your SITE folder making it available to all project users. If you want to create resources that will be available only to one user, extend the MS_DGNLIBLIST path in users .UCF file and save it accordingly. A personal DGN library can contain only user interface modifications: customizations of tools, toolboxes, tasks, and menus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Modifying sisNET tasks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to customize sisNET tasks - adjust existing ones or replace them with new ones based on sisNET tools - you will have to create a copy of the SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB file and make the modifications inside it. To make the new DGN Lib available to all users, modify your DATENBESTAND.SISCFG file by adding the following line:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = path to you modified copy of SISNET_TOOLS.DGNLIB &amp;nbsp;(e.g. SISNET_TOOLS_DGNLIB = $(_ustn_site)/sisNET/mysisnet_tools.dgnlib)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to make it available only to one user modify its .UCF file in the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;!! Be aware that this is applicable only for sisNET versions higher than 8.11.07.116. In older versions you have to modify the complete MS_DGNLIBLIST path accordingly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Also be aware that modifying sisNET tasks in this way bears the risk of decoupling from updates (new versions)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
