Primary Search Paths Configuration Variables
The following table lists the configuration variables that affect Primary Search Paths. Each configuration variable expects a valid value. An invalid value will not override a setting. You do not need to close and restart in order for the configuration variable change to take effect.
| Variable | Short name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MS_VECTORICONDATADIR | Vector Icons data directory | Directory where the VectorIcon.dgnlib is stored. This variable can be used when attaching the Lighting model, stored in VectorIcon.dgnlib , as a reference. |
| MS_SEED_LINKSET_PATH | Link Set Seed File Path | Search path for seed link set file. |
| MS_ECFRAMEWORK_SCHEMAS | ECSchema Search Path | Path to search for ECSchemas (libraries of item types) that define Engineering Content. |
| MS_ECTREE_LIBRARIES | ECTree DGN Library List | List of DGN files in which to find ECTree definitions. |
| MS_DGNLIBLIST | DGN Library List | List of DGN libraries. |
| MS_DEF | Design Files | Search path(s) for DGN files. |
| MS_RFDIR | References | Search path(s) for references. |
| MS_MDLAPPS | Visible MDL Applications | Search path(s) for MDL applications displayed in the MDL dialog. |
| MS_MDL | MDL Applications | Search path(s) for MDL applications or external programs loaded by MDL applications. |
| MS_ADDINPATH | AddIns | Search path for managed AddIn assemblies that are used outside of the application base or configured privatePath. |
| MS_ADDIN_DEPENDENCYPATH | AddIn Dependencies | Search path for managed assemblies that are used by AddIns outside of the application base or configured privatePath. Directories should not be listed here and in MS_ADDINPATH. |
| MS_MACRO | Macros | Search path for macros. |
| MS_RSRCPATH | Resource Files | Search path(s) for resource files loaded by MDL applications. |
| MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST | User Interface DGN Library List | Directories containing DGN library files that store tool, tool box, task, menu, and icon customizations. |
| MS_LIBRARY_PATH | Library Path | Search path for dynamic link libraries. |
| RDL_DIR | Redline Location | Defines the location and/or extension of the redline file for which the Redline On tool searches. |
| DWGRDL_DIR | DWG Redline Location | Defines the location and/or extension of the DWG redline file for which the Redline On tool searches. |
| MS_FILTER_LIB_DIR | Filter Library Path | Directory containing filter data files. |
| MS_LINFILELIST | LIN File Path | Directory containing linestyle files. |
| MS_DISPLAYSTYLE_LIBLIST | Display Style Library Include Filter | Search path for library files to list display styles. This configuration variable should point only to those files that are specified in the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable. If this configuration variable is not defined, the display styles in all the files pointed by MS_DGNLIBLIST are listed. |
| MS_DRAWINGSEED_LIBLIST | Drawing Seeds Library Include Filter | Search path for library files to harvest drawing seeds. This configuration variable should point only to those files that are specified in the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable. If this configuration variable is not defined, all the files pointed by MS_DGNLIBLIST are included to harvest the drawing seeds. |
| MS_LEVELS_EXCLUDELIBS | Levels Library Exclude Filter | Prevents the levels in the files specified by this configuration variable from being added to the list of available levels in the open DGN file. |
| MS_SAVEDVIEW_EXCLUDELIBS | Saved Views Library Exclude Filter | The saved views in the library files pointed by this configuration variable are not displayed in the Views tab of the Project Explorer dialog. This configuration variable should point only to those files that are specified in the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable. If this configuration variable is not defined, the saved views of all the files pointed by MS_DGNLIBLIST display. |
