Title: Changing default workspaces (Solution for lost customizations)
Created: 2020-08-19Last modified: 2020-08-19
In Carlson 2020 with IntelliCAD 9.2 automatic workspace switching mechanism was introduced. It allows to have different workspaces associated with different active document's type. So DWG document has it's own user interface and settings, DGN has other ones.

To achieve this, corresponding workspace names are stored in system variables. If you want to use your own workspace instead of a pre-defined one you have to put its name to sysvars to make it switch when document is opened otherwise you have to switch it manually every time.

Put the name of the workspace to the following sysvars:
  • DWGWORKSPACE - for DWG document
  • DGNWORKSPACE - for DGN document
  • EMPTYWORKSPACE - for Start Page
Alternatively you may turn off automatic switching. Just turn off the following sysvars:
  • DWGWORKSPACEAUTOSWITCH - for DWG document
  • DGNWORKSPACEAUTOSWITCH - for DGN document
  • EMPTYWORKSPACEAUTOSWITCH - for Start Page
