Hi All, I posted a while back this was due sometime during the summer. Well its imminnent now, probably in the next couple of weeks. I'll post again when its available to download. One thing to mention is that this version WILL support AutoCAD 2011 So at MX v8i SS2 you'll be able to run MX in AutoCAD 2011, and Import, Export and Reference 2011 DWG;'s no problem (despite what you may have heard).

I am looking to get my MicroStation V8i to run off my company's server and was wondering if anyone had instructions or links to information that would help me set this up. I know how to create users, projects and interfaces, but get lost when it comes to configurating the workspace to look for the information on the server. Thanks in head of time for all your help!

Hi everyone! My name is David Settlemyer, PE and I’ve been invited to be part of this group. My posts will mainly focus on issues around SITEOPS software. I joined the SITEOPS team around two years ago, after seeing the software in action. To my joy I found out that the headquarters was mere miles from where I was working. As an engineer in the business for the last 18 years, doing everything from being a company owner to working for a national...

Hello. Just wanted to publiciise another eSeminar we're running about MX. Actually Dean Rickwood is doing all the work for it. Its going to cover anything and everything to do with the MX V8i Interface. Much of it you should be familiar with, but we do hear time and again, about users wanting to know what everything does, and how to improve their work flow and hence productivity. This eSeminar will help. Its a compilation of stuff from the last...

As you may know, ProjectWise leverages the Microsoft Indexing Service to provide full text search capabilities. There are many benefits to this approach, and far too many to discuss here. However one worth mentioning is the ability to filter out words that provide no value in text searches. In other words, we will not likely ever search for all files containing small words like "we", "the", "it", etc., so why include...

This version tries to close the gap in terms of number of modules supported by different codes. The US code still supports most design modules, but adding Canadian pile cap design is the right step towards closing the gap. As promised, Indian pedestal design and British pedestal design are also added. Overall 12...
