This will guarantee that you are starting your workflow correctly with all the required resources. What you need to do is verify that the correct user, project, and interface is selected prior to opening any design files. Your CAD manager will have already configured MicroStation to work within your environment. In general, workspaces consist of several configuration files that are processed when MicroStation is initiated and when files are open and closed. Workspaces help CAD managers and users be more productive by providing a controlled environment for maintaining corporate standards. What is a workspace? A workspace is a custom environment that configures MicroStation to a specific configuration for user, project, and interface. To ensure that we don't inherit any settings from your corporate workspace standards. If you do not have a WorkSpace, create a new one. Verify that your project setting is set to No Project and your interface setting is set to default or untitled. Open the WorkSpace into which you want the WorkSets to be created. Using the user Lynda will automatically navigate you to the location where we stored your exercise files from the download. For this course, we are going to go ahead and change the workspace user setting to Lynda. In the lower right corner you will see the MicroStation workspace settings that consist of user, project, and interface. When you first start MicroStation you will be shown the initial file open dialogue. Let me back up a step and use the file close to return to the file open dialogue. For those of you who have used alternative CAD packages this might well be the most difficult aspect of learning MicroStation. Exit MicroStation In Windows Explorer, browse to C:\Users\Public\CAE\Users Double-click on YourName. It is similar to other Windows applications prior to the ribbon interface. In MicroStation, select Workspace > Button Assignments Select File > Save As Browse to your WSDOTCustomResourcesLocation folder Enter YourName.btnmenu YourName needs to be the same as the custom UCF file generated above. ![]() While the interface may initially appear very different, it doesn't have the ribbon interface that we have all become accustomed to. The objective of this chapter is to introduce you to the MicroStation interface and demonstrate how to use the various interface components efficiently based on your preferences and how you use the current windows environment.
