Configuration Variables
MicroStation's configuration variables (CfgVars) are like system environment variables that are visible only within MicroStation. MicroStation uses CfgVars extensively to define its working environment. You can benefit from this by using CfgVars wisely. The best place to ask questions about CfgVars is the MicroStation forum in the BE Community web site.
CfgVars are defined in the various user (.ucf),
project (.pcf), and system (.cfg)
configuration files that you will find in the \Bentley\Workspace
folder and in the \Bentley\Program\MicroStation\config folder.
