Immunize Your MicroStation Files

To ensure that your MicroStation files are immunized after every modification, Axiom incorporated a feature called AutoCheck. AutoCheck automatically searches and immunizes a design file when the user closes it in MicroStation. To activate AutoCheck simply;

1. Go to MicroStation’s Workspace | Configuration menu.

   

2. Find the MS_DNGAPPS configuration variable.

   

3. Click the <Edit> button on the “Configuration” dialog box. Ensure “Edit Mode” is set to “Append” and then add the following line to the “New Value” field in the “Edit Configuration Variable” dialog box: $(AXI)fixer\autochk.ma

   
   
   

4. Then, click <OK> and click <OK> again on the “Con-figuration“ dialog box. Click <Yes> when asked to save changes to the configuration file. The next time that MicroStation is started and you close or change a design file, AutoCheck will check for corruption and immunize the file.
