Hi,
Why is Connect Advisor being installed with Bentley View? How much advising can be done for a read-only viewer?
Also, why does installing Bentley View Connect affect the installation of Microstation V8i SS3? There is no reason why installing the new View should install the Connection Advisor into Mcrostation V8i, especially without giving the user an option.
--Thanks,--Robert
CONNECT Advisor is a helper application, which when installed integrates itself with supported V8i Applications and CONNECT Edition products together.
there is a single CONNECT Advisor that serves both the generations (v8i and CONNECT Edition) of Bentley Applications.
Hi Nazeer,
Again, please tell me how the Connect Advisor with help me with the read only Bentley View? The only "helping" that I can see is that Bentley is helping themselves to my computer... At the minimum, there should be an option to disable its installation.
Let's be honest what use is it with anything. It's a pile of Dingo's kidneys.
CONNECT Advisor is not just a helper tool. I apologize if I might have misled you into believing that its just another help tool. but to clear your doubt, let me present with what it is supposed to do.
CONNECT Advisor is a desktop application which provides a unified interface for you to interact with various Bentley content in one location, thereby eliminating the need to browse to various sources individually. CONNECT Advisor boosts productivity as it reduces the time required to access and get information. You get the ability to browse-search-view-interact without having to leave the application that you are working on.
CONNECT Advisor performs the following functions:
If you feel that there is something wrong with CONNECT Advisor, we can work with you to get things changed as per your needs.
Tell me how any of this helps you with Bentley View?
"CONNECT Advisor boosts productivity"? Productivity means "drafting" and getting a quality product with the least amount of expense, ie time/labor. Our employees know what they are doing and are proficient at Microstation using the tools that we need for our projects. So there is no additional productivity for us, but there is more distractions and time wasted, and more overhead on our computers--with nothing good coming from it.

Connect Advisor should not be forced on you. If anything, it should be a non-required option.
