Organisation configuration enhancements

Currently, OPModeler.dgnlib is saved in each Workset. The dgn.lib contains NamedExpressions and Element Templates.
The location of this file cannot be changed to the Organisation level to allow for standardisation in all projects.
When you edit the standard.cfg file in the Organisation directories to include the OPModeler.dgnlib is ignored and you need to change the configuration file in the C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant 2024\Configuration\Organization directory which means that each user's configuration files must be changed. This is not a very convenient workflow.
Please can you enhance the ability of the Organisation level to also include the
OPModeler.dgnlib in preverence to local worksets

How frequently will feature be used? Several times a day
How much time will you save? This will assist in standardisation

    @Guest Thanks for posting the idea. I think this should work.Please let me know if doesn't work.

    1. We copy OPModeler.dgnlib file to following location to make it standard for all projects:
    "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant 2024\Configuration\Organization\Dgnlib"

    2. Modify Standards.cfg available at "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant 2024\Configuration\Organization" change as given below:

    MS_DGNLIBLIST < $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)dgnlib/*.dgnlib
    MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST < $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)dgnlib/*.dgnlib

    Note: Both these variables have different purpose MS_DGNLIBLIST is needed to read levels, Dimension Styles, Text Styles etc. and MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST points to dgnlib's having NAMED_EXPRESSIONS.

    Now both variables are pointing to same dgnlib (assuming that this dgblib has levels, styles, Named expressions or Ribbon Tabs all in one dgnlib file)

    Now load OPM and go to Utilities > Named Expressions and check the user expressions or levels etc.
