Configure Advanced Settings - MicroStation

Under normal circumstances, you should not need to configure the MicroStation link's advanced settings. They are provided for integration into very specific environments. Change these settings only under the direction of Accruent Technical Support.

To configure the advanced settings:

  1. In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings.

    The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.

  2. Click the MicroStation tab.

    The MicroStation link's settings page appears in the right pane.

  3. Click Edit.

    To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you want to edit the file in another text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.

  4. Locate the section of the file that begins with [Settings] and locate the setting that you want to change from the following table. If the setting does not exist, you can create it.

  5. Type the value of the setting on the right side of the expression using the syntax:

    <SettingName>=<Value>
  6. Click OK.

The available advanced settings are described in the following table.
