Configuration Files

Does anyone know how to alter the configuration files to point them to a
network directory as the primary search path for project files, reference
files, etc.? My main goal is to not have to store the full path of a
reference file while still providing a directory structure that is easy to
navigate. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Have a look for _DGNDIR

It reads the path/folder for you active dgn and uses that in the path for
references etc.

Go to WORKSPACE>CONFIGURATION and find MS_REFDIR enter _DGNDIR and look at
the readout.

A snip from my ucf

MS_IMAGE > $(_DGNDIR)
MS_IMAGEOUT = $(_DGNDIR)/bilder/
MS_RENDERLOG = $(_DGNDIR)/bilder/render.log
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/snitt/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/../snitt/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/../modell
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/../modell/snitt/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/A/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/K/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/V/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/L/
MS_RFDIR > $(_DGNDIR)/bef
TFDIR_PART = $(TFDIR)/part/
TF_DRAWINGS = $(_DGNDIR)/snitt/

... is old dos for UPDIR

You enter this once and everything works if you open a file in another
project, provided ! you keep the filestructure.
Barry B wrote a msm-article two? years ago about it.
A ggole serach will also find old posts about this.

You are probably right about the location of configurations.
I copied from a single machine with no ustn things networked.

Project level, or why not "site" level if we are talking about using _DGNDIR
