Setting
Up a Supplemental Workspace
Many Units use a Roadway workspace or a Location and Surveys workspace
but have additional files that need to be appended that are specific to
their work. Examples would be cell libraries, set files, macros, etc.
This can be accomplished by setting up a supplemental workspace that
contains these additional files.
1. Open the Update Workspace application from C:\Program
Files\Update Workspace. Double click the UpdateWS.exe. Click in the box
next to TEMPLATE_STDS, then click the UPDATE button. If you do not have
the update workspace executable, you may obtain it from the NCDOT web
site. Go to http://www.ncdot/com/cadd then click on NCDOT, then
WORKSPACES, then Download UpdateWS
program in a .zip format. Turn on the Use Folder Names option
and unzip to C: drive.
2. Rename TEMPLATE_STDS to "Name_Stds" where Name is your Division
name. (Example: Division9_Stds). Copy any files from your existing
workspace that are not duplicated in any other workspaces to the proper
directories.
3. You will then set the following system
environment variable:
SUPPLEMENTAL_STDS = C:\NCDOT_V8_WORKSPACE\"NAME"_STDS where "NAME" is
the template name just created.
4. Edit the SupplementalCfg.dat file (found in the
Template_Stds folder) adding variables that append to your new
workspace. For example, the following variables may be set:
MS__CELL <
$(SUPPLEMENTAL_STDS)/$(_USTN_PROJECTNAME)/CELL
MS_CELLLIST <
$(SUPPLEMENTAL_STDS)/$(_USTN_PROJECTNAME)/CELL/*.CEL
MS_MDL < $(SUPPLEMENTAL_STDS)/STANDARDS/MDLAPPS/
NOTE : Do not modify anything in the block at the
top of this
file. These lines control the inclusion of additional Iplot settings
files.
When MicroStation is opened, the files that are
appended in the supplemental configuration file will be available.
This will allow the users to update the Roadway or
Location
workspace without effecting the supplemental workspace. This will
prevent the need to copy files from one workspace to another
Make Sure to REBOOT The Machine for Environmental
Variables Changes to take effect !!!
