Product(s):	OpenRoads Designer
Version(s):	10.11.00.115+
Area:	Workspace

 

Problem:

After upgrading OpenRoads to 10.11 or 10.12, when I launch a DGN from within a ProjectWise Managed Workspace, the file loads but with no Workspace and no Workset.

Cause:

One possible cause for this issue is the addition of the Cache.ucf in Power Platform (MicroStation) Update 17/OpenRoads Designer Update 11 (2022R1) which is used to define the last Workspace and Workset opened by the user.  Since this is really not necessary when loading a DGN within a ProjectWise Managed Configuration, there can sometimes be a conflict.  This will ultimately be fixed with ProjectWise 10.00.04+ is released.  Until then, the workaround below will resolve the issue.

Quick Test: 

1.) Browse to the users "prefs" folder and delete the "Cache.ucf" file.   The user prefs folder is typically located here: C:\Users\<user.name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenRoadsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs
2.) Test launching the DGN again.

If the issue is resolved by deleting the Cache.ucf, then follow the steps below.

Solution:

Clear and lock the following two variables at the Managed Workspace "Predefined" level:

_USTN_CACHECFG and _USTN_CACHEWSCFG

The picture above shows the two variables being cleared (using a string but leaving it empty) and set to locked.
