Using Explorer dialog, you can manage the WorkSet data within MicroStation. Explorer dialog contains five tabs: File, Links, Items, Resources, and Sheet Index.

Explorer dialog provides hierarchical storage for information related to design such as DGN and DWG files, models, references, Adobe PDFs, Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel workbooks, and their contents. It also hierarchically lists models in the active WorkSet, making the navigation within the WorkSet easier.

Explorer dialog allows you to navigate easily through the models, saved views, and references in a DGN file, as well as to other supporting files that have been linked to the DGN file. For example, a DGN file may contain an index that lists the drawings in the file, as well as supporting documentation. You could use Explorer to add links from the items in the list to the drawings and supporting files, providing easy access to all documentation related to the WorkSet.

Explorer dialog is in synch with Properties dialog, Details dialog and other modeless dialogs while they are open.
