The _USTN_SITE variable

The MicroStation v8 configuration files are currently stored at:

M:\CADD\CA\SD\Road\ustn

ALL the files used for running our Roadway MicroStation environment are stored here.  There are NO configuration files stored on the local machine.

MicroStation, when launched, runs through a long series of files in many folders initializing variables.

A variable called _USTN_SITE points MicroStation to a folder to search through, reading files and setting variables.

If MicroStation comes across a file with this line in it

    _USTN_SITE=M:/CADD/CA/SD/Road/ustn/config/site/

it will read our files and run our environment.

If you are not San Diego Roadway and have a different location for your configuration files your _USTN_SITE variable needs to be set up accordingly.

The v8_config_enable.BAT batch file copies the zkha_sd_road.cfg file to your machine's

c:/program files/bentley/program/microstation/config/system folder.

The line 

    _USTN_SITE=M:/CADD/CA/SD/Road/ustn/config/site/

tells MicroStation where to look for our San Diego Roadway configuration

Turning it Off

To turn off our environment delete the zkha_sd_road.cfg file from the c:/program... folder or comment out the above line by putting a "#" in front of the line:

   # _USTN_SITE=M:/CADD/CA/SD/Road/ustn/config/site/
