&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;New Features and Capabilities&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Beginning with Map Update 7 the CONNECT Edition products have been renamed throughout the Bentley catalog and Domain.&amp;nbsp; Look for &lt;strong&gt;OpenCities Map Advanced CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;OpenCities Map Ultimate CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; in Software Downloads and other locations and in the various references.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A command line tool to incorporate DGN File data into spatial databases -&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;DGN2DB.exe&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This tool has been expanded from its v8i-origins in the DGN2SDO program, to include both Oracle and PostGIS as spatial data storage models.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Geospatial Administrator now offers the option to use a &lt;strong&gt;Place by Key-in Command&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;option in all Placement Methods.&amp;nbsp; This powerful option provides access to all Map, MicroStation, and 3rd-party software commands that can be initialized via a key-in.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Technology Preview Features&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Use the &lt;strong&gt;Configure&lt;/strong&gt; option during software installation to select these items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Labeling has several enhancements such as: specifying label frequency, specifying area type to label, trimming labeled elements to the view, containing labels within a closed element, and setting the maximum label size factor.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Label Collision Detection to detect and resolve text conflicts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Export Feature Definitions
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This new tool allow you to create the feature definitions (Symbology &amp;amp; Properties) in the specified Schema for the Active Session (DGN File) Inferred Features.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will find the Export Feature Definitions tools in the Map Admin workflow in the OpenCities Map Ribbon&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The New Live Feature Detection Rules dialog
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create rules for inferred features definitions of the CAD elements in the file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set property values for the inferred features based on each element&amp;#39;s property information&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will find the Feature Detection Rules command in the Map Admin Workflow of the OpenCities Map Ribbon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
