  1. In ProjectWise Explorer, navigate to the following folder:

    pw:\\<servername>:<datasourcename>\Documents\MSta CE Configuration Data\WorkSpaces\Example\WorkSets\MetroStation\DGN\3DModel\

  2. Double-click any DGN in the folder to open it.

In many cases you will experience performance better than that of loading the same DGN from a typical LAN server or shared network drive.

From within MicroStation you can verify that you are successfully using a ProjectWise managed workspace by selecting File > Settings > Configuration > About WorkSpace. The ProjectWise Managed Configuration dialog opens:
