The ability to download the install package for new installations will be unavailable. Download the install package now and save it on a server drive someplace.

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know how your company works, but there are many that do no allow users to run unsupported versions of software. If your company is that way you&amp;#39;re kind of stuck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CadScript to Bentley Map/Opencities upgrade-Advanced Map Finishing Tools</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/513763?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Mar 2019 19:01:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:9d72b921-331e-4eeb-8f17-e833cfe77fea</guid><dc:creator>g00ner</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply. So let me get this straight. We will still be able to use CadScript after 1 July 2019 just with no support ? We have been told CadScript will no longer be &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;available&lt;/span&gt; after that date. As you can imagine this is very worrying as we have no&amp;nbsp;alternative at this point for producing finished map pdfs. My IT manager will be very interested to hear this new development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CadScript to Bentley Map/Opencities upgrade-Advanced Map Finishing Tools</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/513735?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Mar 2019 16:01:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:003aeaa3-3122-418e-a828-7bac9ea463c0</guid><dc:creator>Dan Weston</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This has been a great discussion about the need for specific CADscript and Advanced Map Finishing tools to be available, thank you for that.&amp;nbsp; If you can think of other commands please list them and we will make sure the Product Management teams know this in order to evaluate and plan for them in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to clear-up some confusion about the &lt;a href="https://www.bentley.com/en/desktop-applications" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Support Policy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;--the licenses for the older products remain valid &amp;amp; will still initialize the software even though Support is discontinued, it&amp;#39;s the Support Services for those products that are being reduced or expired.&amp;nbsp; Be sure to maintain the license details and installation packages, as the ability to download earlier versions is one important element that will not be available should you need to reinstall them.&amp;nbsp; The Support Services block illustrates which of these services will and will not be available.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.bentley.com/en/desktop-applications"&gt;https://www.bentley.com/en/desktop-applications&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CadScript to Bentley Map/Opencities upgrade-Advanced Map Finishing Tools</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/513548?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Mar 2019 22:16:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:34a7170b-5801-4300-b137-b1f510ee32e7</guid><dc:creator>g00ner</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;including the&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flexi-Text - Great for smooth labeling along rivers. Without it I have to place the text near the river then use Rotate by 2 Points to spin it into position and it looks ok. The Place Text Along tool does a terrible job along rivers and can&amp;#39;t be used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Map Index&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Table Printing Control and the Advanced printing options - Essential for producing professional quality cartographic maps from MicroStation.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If there are &amp;#39;workarounds&amp;#39; I would be happy to hear about them.&lt;/p&gt;
