Bentley Configuration Explorer (BCE) has been updated to support CONNECT Edition. For the moment, anyone needing the latest version should ask via a Service Request, we will then be able to send a download link.
If you have questions about configuration BCE can help to troubleshoot prior to posting here, or you can export your configuration to a .BCF file that we can load into BCE for viewing.
The Help can be found from the application
Hello
Where I can get the help files for this application.
Hi, no the .NET error triggered when BCE find a parentdevdir operator is not fixed yet.
The three variables listed above are now defined differently and no longer use parentdevdir so process correctly in BCE.
Please read the Configuration Explorer thread for a link to the MicroStation Ideas page to support development in this area.
Regards
Marc
Is this defect (Defect 973540) already solved?
Hi Linus,
We have found that BCE is unable to parse the configuration operator: parentdevdir. A defect has been filed, if you would like to file a Service Request to track and support this please reference Defect 973540.
These statements in "C:\Program Files\Bentley\AECOsim CONNECT Edition\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\Config\appl\BuildingDesigner.cfg" were modified in ABD Update 4 :
BB_DATASET_ORGANIZATION_FILTER : parentdevdir($(DG_CATALOGS_ORGANIZATION))BB_DATASET_WORKSPACE_FILTER : parentdevdir($(DG_CATALOGS_WORKSPACE))BB_DATASET_WORKSET_FILTER : parentdevdir($(DG_CATALOGS_WORKSET))
causing this failure.
To enable BCE pending a fix, you can temporarily edit these lines replacing the parentdevdir statements with full paths
Use of parentdevdir elsewhere or in MicroStation configurations will cause the same crash.
