Why doesn't CE View allow you to 'Copy to Clipboard'?

Hi Jan and Stuart,

Thank you for bringing the workflows and scenario to our attention and the use case for Bentley View CONNECT Edition.  I'll discuss this with the team to see how we may enhance it in the future.

Thanks,

Daniel Eng

Why do you consider it an enhancement to provide clipboard copy in Bentley View CONNECT, when it was an existing capability of previous versions?  From the customer's point of view, it's not an enhancement request.  It's a plea to maintain the same functionality as before.

stuart,

this is deliberate it started with retiring  the Free old Redline in XM and replacing it bentley view, then steering us to navigator which is not free but has a lot of the old redline features including the copy paste and attach refs for comparison... nothing quite works as well as the old redline software as  viewer and markup tool it was great ( and free to clients and subcontractors looking at our drgs)....

Hi Jon,

I used the term "enhance" in a sense that we will see what we can do to change and include this in a future update.  We can call it a defect.  In the meantime, I'll get with the team to discuss this to see about bringing this back in.

Thanks,

Daniel Eng
