  1. ProjectWise 101Chapter 6 - Workspaces Gary Cochrane – Technical Director Geospatial Sales – North America

  2. MicroStation Workspaces • MicroStation supports standards for: • Project, User, Application • ProjectWise expands that to include: • Global, Application, Customer, Site, Project, Discipline, and User • Standards include items like: • Level names, custom line-styles, cell libraries, seed files, reference locations, fonts, etc.

  3. Managed versus Unmanaged • ProjectWise provides two ways to define workspaces • Managed and Unmanaged • Unmanaged provides pointers to standards files that are NOT stored in ProjectWise • Managed provides pointers to standards files that are stored in ProjectWise • Managed are superior to unmanaged, but require more work to configure
