MicroStation Connect Publish imodel version keyin

MicroStation Connect Update 13

I am trying to control the version of the .imodel version being published with a script to 1.6 and not 2.0. It looks like the settings file I created and that is loaded is not supporting the imodel version output setting. Anyone have any ideas or solution for this issue before I file a ticket?

    in technical terms it imports all the contents of the DGN into a fresh .imodel

    I'm sure, technically speaking, that you're correct.  However, help manuals should reflect the product user's viewpoint, not that of the author of the tool.

    To learn more about creating .imodels using the Bentley DgnDb iModel Importer ... refer to the help in .pdf file available in its installation directory

    The DgnDb iModel Importer is mentioned in MicroStation help.  However, there's no mention that DgnDb iModel Importer is a separate executable, there's no mention of that PDF help document, and there's no mention of a separate installation directory.  Why can't the useful information you've written above be added to MicroStation help?

    do you have more information on how the nomenclature of logging into a ProjectWise Datasource and pulling/pushing the data should be? The documentation you are referring to provides no examples and I am unable to get past this roadblock. I can generate the DBimodel with no issue when outside of the ProjectWise environment.

    I need to know:

    1. How is the Datasource found? What is to be used? Should it be in quotes, brackets, etc..?
    2. How is the nomenclature of the  "--input" supposed to work? Is it full path, is it path from Documents to source file folder, is it the DMS path and if so what does that look like? Should it be in quotes, brackets, etc..?
    3. How is the nomenclature of the  "--zoutput" supposed to work? Is it full path, is it path from Documents to destination file folder, is it the destination DMS path and if so what does that look like? Should it be in quotes, brackets, etc..?
    4. Is the "--temp" location required?

    An example provided with this tool in the documentation would be a huge plus for both in and out of the ProjectWise environment.

    I have placed a ticket on this Friday, Oct 18th but no response at this time.

    If you want to publish the .imodel from an i.dgn in MicroStation CONNECT in ProjectWise, open key-in dialog and execute key-in 
    publishdgn createdgndbimodel <path of .imodel> <path of .i.dgn>, please use quotes to overcome any spaces. I have also asked development for achieving similar directly from the ITG console.

    Hi Mark, i am still waiting for more updates from Dev team, but have you tried the key-in publishdgn createdgndbimodel <path of .imodel> <path of .i.dgn> in ProjectWise. If you don't need the .imodel 2.0 format you can temporarily uninstall it and then this key-in will generate the 1.6 format .imodel by default. Also have you tried the Bentley Automation Services with MSTN CONNECT? It will publish all the DGN files on PW to an i.dgn or .imodel 1.6.

    If the DGN or i-model path has spaces use quotes. Sample command for non PW session is here: 

    "C:\Program Files\Bentley\ItgDgnDbImporter 1.5\IDgnToIDgnDb.exe" -i "D:\EQPM01.dgn" --output "D:\2.0\EQPM01.bim" -z "D:\2.0\EQPM01.imodel"
