&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;promis&amp;bull;e V8i (SELECTseries 3) Now Available for Download&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The SELECTseries 3 release of promis&amp;bull;e is now available for
download on SELECTServices. The release offers new enhancements that expand the
ability to work efficiently. In addition, there are a number of known issues
have been fixed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Here are just a few of the new features:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="margin-top:0in;"&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Support for Windows 7 (32
     &amp;amp; 64 bit) and AutoCAD 2010 (64 bit) have been added&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Create graphical terminal
     plans with multiple strips in columns on the same page. Use fewer pages in
     your project &amp;ndash; speed up reviews and printing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Use language text mixed
     with standard text in title blocks and symbol attributes. Expand your use
     of this automated translation feature.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Equipment numbers: generic
     part numbers that can be exchanged later with real part numbers. Ideal for
     EPCs who work with system integrators and those who use their own vendor
     part numbers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Enhanced ProjectWise
     integration: support for distributed engineering, reference files and
     component indexing have been added. Improve your data management and
     collaboration capabilities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;More new features are listed in the readme file. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important:&lt;/b&gt;
Support for AutoCAD 2006 has been dropped in this release. AutoCAD 2006 users
who wish to run this latest version of promis&amp;bull;e will be provided with PowerDraft
software..&lt;/div&gt;

The CAD platform and promis&amp;bull;e are installed or updated in 1 install. &amp;nbsp;On the AutoCAD Platform, support for AutoCAD&amp;reg; 2011 has been added and 2007/2008 support has been removed.&amp;nbsp; In this release 30 improvements have been implemented. Some of the more significant are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Smart Move&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; An enhanced stretch command now avoids the requirement of using the platform stretch command which required a lot of &amp;ldquo;clean-up&amp;rdquo; when used on electrical schematics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Capture Tolerance&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; This removes a support issue frequently encountered by new users.&amp;nbsp; For old CAD users, if a line looked like it was connection to a device; it was &amp;ldquo;close enough&amp;rdquo;. Without an exact connection, promis&amp;bull;e would miss these connections on wiring reports.&amp;nbsp; The Capture tolerance function automatically snaps wires to any connection in the vicinity of a capture box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Inter-mode cross-referencing&lt;/b&gt; - The automatic cross-referencing that was available on schematic drawings can now be displayed between schematic, single-line, panel layout, and other electrical drawing types.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dialog Redesign&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; Several of the dialogs have been redesigned to support usability and allow the user to customize the layout of the dialogs to meet their requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other improvements include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;i-model Support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Performance improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Role Description in Families( that may be used on symbols)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sub-ID Display&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Other usability Features&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The promis&amp;bull;e V8i SELECTseries 6 release went live on SELECTservices on April 16&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. This has been the first new SELECTseries release since the promis&amp;bull;e SELECTseries 5 Refresh in September. The Goal of the release has centered on defect repair but there a few enhancements. Some of the more significant are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Added Support for AutoCAD 2012 (32 &amp;amp; 64 bit)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SELECT series 6 supports from AutoCAD 2010 to 2012, as well as the standalone release which does not require any additional CAD licensing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Concurrent use of the Terminal Plan Editor&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Terminal Plan generation no longer requires other users to exit the project - Formerly only one user could have a project open when the Graphical terminal plan was being executed. This was an inconvenience when the user knew other users were not actively editing parts of the project affecting the terminal plan. In&lt;br /&gt;SELECTseries 6, the user creating the terminal plan is given a warning if there are other users in the same project. The warning message is given with the&lt;br /&gt;option to continue with generating the plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Citrix Support&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Promis&amp;bull;e can now&lt;br /&gt;be run with Citrix.&amp;nbsp; This gives remote&lt;br /&gt;users the opportunity to be working in the same project as other users in a&lt;br /&gt;central location.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Device ID Text Height by Mode.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Formerly, there was one Device ID text height setting for a project. This caused issues when on a panel layout, where devices can be placed in close proximity, causing Device ID&amp;#39;s to overlap. Device ID Text height can now be set on the mode level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Symbol Place Event&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users adding custom programming to promis&amp;bull;e now have the opportunity to run their own code when placing a symbol thru promis&amp;bull;e. An example for using this may be to have custom code check to see if a given component is being placed onto an approved area of a panel or a specific type of panel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Cable diagram improvement &amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In earlier releases, cable diagrams could only be created on terminal strips created with a Terminal strip family. In SELECTseries 6, individual terminal blocks can be used in a terminal strip. Note the cable diagram requires the page to be re-read after placing the strip to display the connections correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Bentley Substation V8i SELECTseries 6&lt;br /&gt;release went live on SELECTservices on May 4, 2012. This has been the first new&lt;br /&gt;SELECTseries release since SELECTseries 5 Refresh in September. The Goal of the&lt;br /&gt;release has centered on defect repair but there a few enhancements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the more significant are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Change to PowerPlatform SS3 and with it, support for Bentley Descartes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bentley Substation now supports&lt;br /&gt;Bentley Descartes&amp;hellip; 3D modeling that combines point clouds and raster imagery&lt;br /&gt;with CAD geometry. The resulting hybrid model extends the utility of point&lt;br /&gt;clouds by supporting hybrid design workflows that deliver &amp;ldquo;as-operated&amp;rdquo; 3D&lt;br /&gt;models. These especially serve the operations and maintenance needs of&lt;br /&gt;owner-operators. Bentley Descartes provides&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Advanced point&lt;br /&gt;cloud data processing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manipulation of&lt;br /&gt;scalable terrain models&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Processing and&lt;br /&gt;management of legacy, scanned documentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Support for ProjectWise SS4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Citrix &amp;ldquo;XenApp&amp;rdquo; Support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The preferred method to share&lt;br /&gt;Substation projects between remote users is still thru ProjectWise and Database&lt;br /&gt;replication. But now, both Bentley Substation SS6 and the standalone version of&lt;br /&gt;SS6 promis&amp;bull;e support the Citrix XenApp alternative.&amp;nbsp; Citrix XenApp allows the data and the&lt;br /&gt;application to be located on a central server and run multiple remote locations&lt;br /&gt;simultaneously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both XenApp 5 and 6 have been&lt;br /&gt;tested with our electrical suite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Construction Drawing Import&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Construction Drawing Import&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tool enables you to import into the current project any or all construction&lt;br /&gt;drawings that are associated with specific part numbers. Examples might include&lt;br /&gt;circuit breaker or foundation construction drawings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new toggle allows you to suppress&lt;br /&gt;import of duplicate construction drawings that might be carrying a repeated&lt;br /&gt;part number.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But wait, there&amp;rsquo;s more. The dialog&lt;br /&gt;listing potential construction drawing candidates is now color-coded. Red&lt;br /&gt;indicates a construction drawing has not yet been imported into the project.&lt;br /&gt;Rows colored green represent those construction drawings that have already been&lt;br /&gt;pulled into the project. And&amp;hellip; as an added bonus&amp;hellip; you can now assign or modify&lt;br /&gt;the &lt;i&gt;Part Number&lt;/i&gt; right from this tool&amp;rsquo;s dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Construction Labels enhancement&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Construction Labels&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dialog now displays the part number&amp;rsquo;s description. This piece of information&lt;br /&gt;serves as a handy reminder to help you keep track of the part type you&amp;rsquo;re&lt;br /&gt;working with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Z-depth Annotation Tool&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This new &lt;i&gt;Z-depth Dimension Tool&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lets you quickly find and label the lowest &lt;i&gt;Z-depth&lt;/i&gt; value of a selected&lt;br /&gt;3D object. For example, select anywhere on a 3D drain representation &amp;ndash; this&lt;br /&gt;tool begins a leader tied to the lowest Z depth point on the object. Stretch&lt;br /&gt;out a leader. Then, as you end the command, the dimension text is automatically&lt;br /&gt;added to indicate the Z-coordinate offset between the PRP down to the lowest&lt;br /&gt;point of the selected item.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Spare terminals &amp;ndash; part number assignment enhancement&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adding&amp;nbsp; a bunch of spare terminals has always been so&lt;br /&gt;easy to do&amp;hellip; but applying a common part number to each spare terminal was pretty&lt;br /&gt;tedious. Now with SS6, it&amp;rsquo;s a breeze. Reference an existing terminal for adding&lt;br /&gt;new spares. Pop them in, but now the picked terminal&amp;rsquo;s part number assignment&lt;br /&gt;is automatically applied to each new spare terminal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;========================================================================================&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The following enhancements are listed for promis&amp;bull;e SS6&lt;br /&gt;release. Since Bentley Substation SS6 is built on the promis&amp;bull;e foundation, the&lt;br /&gt;following enhancements are also available to Bentley Substation users.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Concurrent use of the Terminal&lt;br /&gt;Plan Editor&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creating terminal plans used to&lt;br /&gt;require a personal lock on the entire project.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;You were locked out from creating this report type, even just a draft&lt;br /&gt;version of it, if there was just one other user editing something in your&lt;br /&gt;shared project. Now in SS6 you can proceed with terminal plan generation even&lt;br /&gt;if other users are active in the common project. You will be alerted but you&lt;br /&gt;can then choose to continue with the report generation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. Device ID Text Height by Mode.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Project text settings can now be&lt;br /&gt;set on a per-drawing-mode basis. For example, a 3D layout drawing or a Panel&lt;br /&gt;layout drawing might need a larger text size than used on schematic or one-line&lt;br /&gt;diagrams. With SS6, the default text size can be individually set for each of&lt;br /&gt;the supported drawing mode types.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. Symbol Place Event&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our electrical product suite has a&lt;br /&gt;rich API user programming interface. Users can create their own custom&lt;br /&gt;productivity applications and tools that work within our suite of electrical&lt;br /&gt;products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new SS6 API functionality allows&lt;br /&gt;custom code to detect when a symbol is being placed with the standard placement&lt;br /&gt;dialogs. This enables a user&amp;rsquo;s application to automatically launch after a&lt;br /&gt;normal symbol placement completes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, as a symbol is placed&lt;br /&gt;on a panel layout drawing, it can fire off a user&amp;rsquo;s custom application to&lt;br /&gt;further analyze the placement to verify that it is on the correct type of&lt;br /&gt;panel, compatible with nearby components, or inserted in such a way that&lt;br /&gt;matches with the company standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;11. Cable diagram improvement &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SS6 now supports cable diagrams generated using individual&lt;br /&gt;terminal blocks.&amp;nbsp; Prior to SS6, Cable&lt;br /&gt;diagram generation could only be created using long, single-unit terminal&lt;br /&gt;strips tied to specific family definitions. That limitation is now history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;For detailed information on the&lt;br /&gt;release, these resources are available:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Users,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am pleased to announce the release of promis&amp;bull;e V8i SELECTseries 7&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The promis&amp;bull;e V8i SELECTseries 7 release went live on SELECT &amp;nbsp;Server on January&amp;nbsp; 16.&amp;nbsp; This has been the first new SELECTseries release since the promis&amp;bull;e SELECTseries 6 release in April.&amp;nbsp; The new Features available in the release are listed in the README file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Some of the more significant changes in this release are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New wire sizing with Sustainability tool to size wires to meet electrical code on provide optimal Life Cycle Costing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8yTdbGRl9s"&gt;See Video&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-udTI3-4v30"&gt;See part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Re-written&amp;nbsp; Wire Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Re-written &amp;nbsp;Family Editor&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enhanced Wire link, Macro Selection and Symbol selection dialogs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enhanced Wire label and wire property functionality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maintained Macro functionality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Demonstration videos for the wire manager, macro and family create dialogs will be posted when some technical issues with the upload are cleared up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: The SELECTseries 7 release is only supported on the&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Stand alone version only&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and not on the AutoCAD platform. The SS7 release was not originally scheduled to be available at this time but shared code with Bentley Substation allowed us to easily create an interim release with significant enhancements, by &amp;nbsp;releasing both products &amp;nbsp;simultaneously .&amp;nbsp; Since Substation does not support&amp;nbsp; an AutoCAD version, providing an unscheduled AutoCAD SELECTseries 7 would have been significantly more difficult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
