Geographic Coordinates Configuration Variables

The following table lists the configuration variables that affect geographic coordinates. 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 Description
MS_GEOCOORDINATE_DATA Directory where MicroStation GeoCoordinate data is installed.
MS_GEOCOORDINATE_FAVORITESFILES Defines the file name and location for quick access to geographic coordinate systems. The contents of this file appear in the Favorites folder on the Select Geographic Coordinate System dialog’s Library tab. You can define multiple files by separating them with semicolons.
MS_GEOCOORDINATE_REFSETTINGS Directory where MicroStation stores the default reference reprojection settings. There is rarely a need for users to change it.
MS_GEOCOORDINATE_REPROJECTIONSETTINGS Directory where MicroStation stores the reprojection settings. There is rarely a need for users to change it.
MS_GEOCOORDINATE_USERLIBRARIES This configuration variable is string of the form “LibraryPath1[ShortName1];LibraryPath2[ShortName2]”, where LibraryPath<n> is the file name of the library, and [ShortName<n>] optionally specifies the identifier that appears in the Select Geographic Coordinate System dialog.

If no directory is specified in LibraryPath, the directory specified by the MS_GEOCOORDINATE_DATA configuration variable is used.
