After a workspace has been defined in OpenCities Geospatial Administrator and the appropriate files and macros have been defined, the workspace is exported. The following process is executed. The actual commands being executed can be shown by turning verbose on (Tools > Options > Verbose) and then displaying the message center by double-clicking in the lower left corner.

1. A folder named after the workspace is created in the workspace root as defined in the Project Information tab. By default, the Workspace Root Directory is defined by the variable _USTN_WORKSPACESROOT.
   
   
   
2. Subfolders and XML files are created for the various Map features, methods, and operations as defined in the All Users node.

4. A workspace configuration file (.CFG) is created in the workspace root folder defined by MS_GEOWSHOME.

   ExportFileCommand successfully exported to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenCities Map\Configuration\WorkSpaces\EastCity.cfg

5. A workset configuration file (.CFG) is created in the Worksets folder. The name is defined by the workset name as defined in the User Worksets node.
