Cells Configuration Variables
The following table lists the configuration variables that affect cells. 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_CELL | Cell Library Directories | Search path(s) for cell libraries. |
| MS_CELLLIST | Cell Library List | List of cell libraries to be searched for cells not found in the current library. |
| MS_CELLSELECTORDIR | Cell Selector Directory | Directory for Cell Selector button configuration (.csf) files. |
| MS_CELLSELECTOR | Cell Selector File | Default Cell Selector button configuration file. |
| MS_CELLOUT | Output Cell Libraries | Default directory for newly created cell libraries. |
| MS_MENU | Menu Cells | Cell library file containing menu cells. |
| MS_RESOLVESCNAMECONFLICTS | Shared Cell Name Conflicts | Controls how shared cell name conflicts are handled for operations like reference merge. If set to 0, there is no resolution. If set to 1, the default, MicroStation resolves the name conflicts on DWG shared cell instances; if set to 2, MicroStation resolves name conflicts for all non-anonymous shared cells. |
