You need to be aware of all these changes...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Major Changes in Navigator CE as compared to Navigator V8i:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;can only open mobile i-models (.imodel)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;can NOT open files directly from ProjectWise&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;can NOT attach ref files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;can NOT create overlay files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meaning we can NOT use the same way to work in Navigator CE as V8i!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;first off, we need to convert regular i-model (.i.dgn) to mobile i-model (.imodel).&amp;nbsp;You can use &amp;#39;dgnV8converter.exe&amp;#39; delivered&amp;nbsp;with MicroStation CE update 11 for the conversion&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;you can open mobile i-models either from local PC or Project Share Service in ProjectWise Project (formerly known as Connected Project)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;because we can NOT attach ref files interactively in Navigator CE, package mobile i-models (contains all refs you need) have to be built in advance (I know it&amp;#39;s crazy, right before design review, you find a ref is missing, now you need to rebuild the whole package i-model instead of just building the ref then attach it!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;because NO overlay files any more, all the markups\comments can only be captured in Issue Resolution Service in ProjectWise Project&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;ProjectWise Project becomes a prerequisite to run Navigator CE. If you are not familiar with it,&amp;nbsp;better to catch up!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Thought it&amp;#39;s a good idea to share the solutions I found...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My environment:&amp;nbsp;Win 10 + Visual Studio 2017 Community + &lt;span&gt;MicroStation CE (v10.11.00.36) + MicroStation CE SDK (v10.11.00.42)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Issue 1:&amp;nbsp;when building SDK examples, got error &amp;#39;VS2015_DotNetToolsDir was not defined&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Solution:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;install &amp;#39;.NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack and Language Packs&amp;#39; AND update &amp;#39;C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStationCONNECTSDK\mki\VCVarsQueryRegistry14.mki as follows&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; change line 97 &amp;amp; 104&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Microsoft SDKs/NETFXSDK/4.6&lt;br /&gt; to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/Microsoft SDKs/NETFXSDK/4.6.1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Issue 2:&amp;nbsp;when building SDK examples, got error &amp;#39;VS2015_FrameworkVersion64 was not defined&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;solution: change visual studio 2017 installation by clicking on &amp;#39;Desktop development with C++&amp;#39; first then ticking ON &amp;#39;vc++ 2015.3 v14.0 toolset for desktop&amp;#39; (see the pic below) AND update &amp;#39;C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStationCONNECTSDK\mki\VCVarsQueryRegistry14.mki as follows&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; change line 133 &amp;amp; 140&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/SxS/VC7&lt;br /&gt; to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/VisualStudio/SxS/VC7&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="186" src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-34-38-93/pastedimage1551401194020v1.png" width="437" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Issue 3:&amp;nbsp;mt.exe is not a regonized cmd&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;solution: install Win 10 SDK AND add &amp;#39;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x86\&amp;#39; (where mt.exe resides) in the env var path&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HTH&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.bentley.com/aggbug?PostID=273052&amp;AppID=343893&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Mark Gao</name><uri>https://communities.bentley.com/members/1d33ee9f_2d00_c139_2d00_4946_2d00_8685_2d00_c380f59ec299</uri></author></entry></feed>
