Good Afternoon, I am trying to configure CONNECT so that I can keep the Workspaces on the local drive but to direct the child Worksets to a network drive. That way the standards (and any resource files) are local but the drawings can be accessed by all…

I have been setting up a corporate workspace for MS & ORD and really like how CONNECT will copy the various seed files either upon startup, or when necessary (such as customizing the ribbon for the dgnlib). However, I am not seeing this behavior for the…

There is no point in having error messages about it being missing, when all the other prerequisites are already in the layouts.

I am trying to create a seed DGNws file so that all new WorkSets get a base Sheet index in them that contain project properties and folders. I tried using the variable _USTN_WORKSETDGNWSTEMPLATE but it creates a DGNws with two indexes in it (see below…

I am trying to edit and amend the configuration variable MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST to reference a personal .dgnlib with a custom tool bar. However, I am unable to modify this variable as all of the options (Add new variable, modify selected variable, etc..) are…

Hey all. Named Expression question again. I am working on show/hide statements for MicroStation UI and trying to define a named expression that will give me the active working folder by resolving it from _DGNDIR. As most of you know _DGNDIR by nature…

Is it possible to determine the version of MicroStation using configuration file processing? In particular, I need to distinguish between CONNECT 10.04 and CONNECT 10.05. That is, I need both the major and the minor version numbers.

I just wanted to point out that the documentation for the deployment image (Microstation V8i Series 3) is wrong. It states that you can only change the setup to full UI or Reduced UI. I foolishly believed this for a long period of time and set out to…
