There are a huge number of settings, all set with either a CFG, PCF, UCF, and whatever else. We can establish where these settings come from by doing
ustation.exe (whatever settings) -debug
And we can wade through all our DGNLIBs that are referenced within those environment variables, but it may be difficult to establish which file is responsible for this or that behavior. Especially when we have lots of DGNLIBs scattered to the four winds, all from different sources and for different reasons. And once we establish which DGNLIB is responsible for a behavior, it is not entirely intuitive as far as how to correct the issue.
Where documentation exists, it's buried way too deep to be user-friendly. So people like me who have had problem after frustrating problem after infuriating problem lose patience.
Is it my installation? Do I only need to reinstall Geopak? Do I only need to reinstall my state's workspace? Do I only need to change one option or another? If I do any of those, will I lose all my mouse button settings? Will I lose the position of all my attachment window settings?
Settings are buried all over my computer. Some at C:\ProgramData, some at C:\Program Files (x86), some at %localappdata%, some at my state's provided workspace. And it's never obvious where to look. Wading is not how I want to spend my work day when I need to troubleshoot a problem like my current one.
Can we please, please, please get some better documentation or a more intuitive or a more transparent interface that covers where each setting resides, how we can use logic to establish where to look first, how to identify which file is responsible for a behavior, and even how to adjust it to our needs?
For seed files, especially, there should be a library of options--because, after all, it is a seed file that will influence all files sprouting therefrom. Like which geographic settings are being used, any settings that influence the outcome (or visibility) of dynamic cross sections, and so on.
I know that my latest issue is somewhere in the seed file, but I don't know where, and I don't know what to do to compare a good seed file to the bad seed file.
