MDL Application Description
========================================
Resource Renumbering

MicroStation configuration variable _USTN_CUSTOMIZEBASEID, allows users to define the lowest number that 
Customize will use as a resource ID when generating customizations.  The RSCRENUM utility allows users to 
renumber the resource IDs in their existing user interface resource files to take advantage of this base ID.

Installation
To install the rscrenum.ma application
	1. Place the rscrenum.ma application file in the \mdlapps directory.

	2. Start MicroStation.

	3. From the Utilities menu, choose MDL Applications.  The MDL dialog box opens.

	4. From the Available Applications, select RSCRENUM.

	5. Click Load.


Using Resource Renumbering

This functionality allows site administrators to release site customizations to their users without 
fear of conflicting with any of their user's customizations.  Without this utility, their UIs need to be 
re-created from scratch or the resources renumbered one at a time.

Renumbering site resources
	1. Set THE _USTN_CUSTOMIZEBASEID to 2000, and load rscrenum.ma.  
	   The Renumber Custom Interface Resources dialog box opens.

	2. Select the resource to renumber and click OK (by default, Tool Boxes, Tool Frames, and 
	   Tools are selected).

           The site resources are renumbered

 	3. Set the _USTN _CUSTOMIZEBASEID on your user's machines to 5000.

	4. Have your user's load rscrenum.ma.

	   Your user's resources are renumbered.

In this way, the site administrator can be confident that any resources he creates with an 
ID >2000 AND <5000 will not be overwritten by a user modification.  Should he decide he 
needs more IDs, he can simply adjust the BASEIDs and run rscrenum again.
