A MicroStation workspace profile defines the location of a MicroStation workspace that exists on a local or network drive, outside of ProjectWise.

2. Right-click the WorkSpace Profiles subnode and select New > WorkSpace Profile.

   The New WorkSpace Profile Properties dialog opens.

   
   
   
3. On the General tab:
   1. Enter a unique name and an optional description for the workspace profile.
   2. (Optional) Turn on Allow Users to Override Default Workspace Settings if you want to let users to change these settings each time they open documents in MicroStation.
4. On the MicroStation Settings tab, set the default workspace parameters:
   1. In the Root directory field, enter the location of the workspace root folder, or click Browse to select the location.
   2. In the Additional command-line arguments field, enter any additional command-line arguments that will be used to launch MicroStation.

As a workaround, you can use the Additional command-line arguments field to pass the WorkSpace (-WK) and WorkSet (-WW) and other command line arguments to launch MicroStation CONNECT Edition.
   3. In the Default properties section, enter the appropriate information in the User Configuration File Name, Project Configuration File Name, and User Interface Name fields. If you are unsure of what names to use, click the Browse button to the right of each field to navigate to the workspace and select the appropriate names.
   
   
   
5. On the MicroStation User Settings tab, you can customize workspace parameters for specific users:
   1. From the User Groups list, filter the list of users by selecting All Users, Administrator, or Restricted Administrator.
   2. Select a user from the list, then enter the appropriate information in the User Configuration File Name, Project Configuration File Name, and User Interface Name fields. If you are unsure of what names to use, click the Browse button to the right of each field to navigate to the workspace and select the appropriate names.
