Importing Configurations

Using the Managed Configuration Import Wizard in ProjectWise Administrator, you can import your MicroStation configuration files into ProjectWise where they can be fully managed. The process of importing your configuration files involves a few key steps:

  1. Import the variables and their values from your workspace's .CFG and .UCF files into ProjectWise, thus creating configuration settings blocks.
  2. Import your configuration files and folders into ProjectWise. You can also do this by dragging the content into ProjectWise Explorer.
  3. Import data to ProjectWise, specific to MicroStation users and WorkSets.
  4. Take the new configuration settings blocks and replace the hard-coded local paths with the new ProjectWise paths.

The following workflow involves locating and selecting local MicroStation configuration files, resolving potential naming conflicts, and finally importing them into ProjectWise, where they are converted into configuration settings blocks. The new configuration settings blocks will contain variable information as it appears in the source configuration files. No attempt to replace hard-coded local paths is made during the initial import process; that is for another wizard session in which redirection, or remapping, is involved.
