    To open non-ProjectWise DGNs in MicroStation CONNECT or OpenRoads Designer, users must select the ODOT_CONNECT workspace and the ODOT workset. The ODOT_CONNECT workspace provides the organization's standards like cell libraries and line styles. The empty ODOT workset folder structure correctly brands opened DGNs with the ODOT standards. Users should not create additional worksets and can remove unused worksets from the training by moving their files and folders.

    How to Open Non-ProjectWise DGNs using MicroStation CONNECT

    or OpenRoads Designer
    When your DGN data is not stored in ProjectWise, you need to ensure that you select a
    WorkSpace and WorkSet when launching the CONNECT software. When your DGN files are not
    stored in ProjectWise, but are stored in a crew share or your F: drive, or maybe even on your
    C: drive, you should launch by double-clicking on the desktop shortcut for MicroStation
    CONNECT or OpenRoads Designer.

    After double-clicking the desktop icon, you may wonder – “What WorkSpace do I use?” “What
    WorkSet do I select?” This document should answer those questions.

    What WorkSpace do I use?


    To access ODOT Standards - use the Custom Configuration (at the bottom of the WorkSpace
    list) named ODOT_CONNECT.

    What WorkSet do I use?


    Use the ODOT WorkSet that is in your WorkSet list! It is an empty folder structure and you
    may store data there as well, or simply set the WorkSet to ODOT and then [Browse] to the
    location of your data. At ODOT, we would not normally store project data in the WorkSet.
    Project data is stored in ProjectWise or in a network crew share or possibly your F: drive.

    Do I create my own WorkSet?


    No, you do not need to create your own WorkSet - really. The ODOT standards are provided
    in the WorkSpace named ODOT_CONNECT. An empty WorkSet folder structure is provided
    for you to use (of course, named ODOT) which will correctly brand DGNs that you open with
    CONNECT software.

    Aargh - What is this WorkSpace - WorkSet thing?!


    When you open a DGN file using MicroStation CONNECT or OpenRoads Designer CONNECT, the
    file is branded with the name of the WorkSpace and the name of the WorkSet. This helps you
    to know what standards were used when creating the file and keep loading those standards
    when you work with the file later on.
    The WorkSpace provides the Organization's standards - cell libraries, line styles, cache files,
    template libraries, etc. So it is important to choose ODOT_CONNECT.
    The WorkSet provides a folder structure to store "project" standards. The ODOT WorkSet in
    C:\ODOT\CONNECT_Projects\WorkSets has an empty Standards folders (we don't have
    "project-level" standards) and two folders to keep files in named: dgn and out. These folders
    may remain empty. You are not required to use them. For training, having different
    WorkSets for the different chapters helped to keep the training materials organized.

    I have a bunch of WorkSets from Training (and I created some of my own when
    experimenting) - how do I remove them from the WorkSet list?
    The WorkSet list displays the names of all of the .cfg files (outlined in red in the image below)
    that are stored in C:\ODOT\CONNECT_Projects\WorkSets. Moving the .cfg, .dgnws, and the
    folder belonging to the other worksets will remove them from the list. I recommend creating
    a folder in the WorkSets folder and naming it something like z_training - then move other
    workset folders and files into it.
