Any ideas?
Feature list?
Hi Peter
let's try this for next Christmas
MicroStation SELECTseries 3 update 2 - 08.11.09.459 - posted 6/27/2013
MicroStation SELECTseries 3 update 1 - 08.11.09.357 - posted 9/17/2012
MicroStation SELECTseries 3 - 08.11.07.443 - posted 7/16/2010
MicroStation SELECTseries 2 - 08.11.07.171 - posted 11/2/2009
We could probably pull together a what's new list also if that helps.
@Tim
Some do some don't. We've been down this road before about via Multi install and according to Bentley SS releases are not considered Major release. But thats all semantics. The real question is what major functionality as been added in the past 5 years relative to what the competition has done.
@Stuart
Autodesk has over twice the employees and 4x the revenue. They also have fewer products to maintain. That said there does appears to be and disproportional amount of resources going to verticals.

As I said, not a new version since 2009!!

That's Bentleys problem for spreading themselves thin.

I agree. They seem to have moved focus away from the original MicroStation product. Not all of use the verticals, or want to for that matter.

They are also adept at getting a new file version out every year. Older file versions are 'retired'. New file versions require you to purchase the latest product release to maintain file compatibility.
stuartw said:Why can't Bentley?
As others have responded, there have been several version updates in recent years. Would it appease you if they had been termed Release 2011, Release 2012, Release 2013, Release 2014 rather than assigned 8-digit version numbers?

Which will be released first, MicroStation x64 or AECOsim x64?
Hi,
Unknown said:Which will be released first, MicroStation x64 or AECOsim x64?
It follows from the development logic: Because AECOsim BD is based on MicroStation engine, it cannot be released before MicroStation. It was told in this thread the expected release of the new AECOsim is about six months after the MicroStation release.

Stuart, how did you define "new version"? It looks like you quite intentionally interpret the facts in a strange way. Every SELECTseries brought a bunch of new tools, features and enhancements, some from them pretty substantial (business items, point clouds, new mesh tools...). Not enough to be treated as a new version for you? ... may be because the main name has not changed, only its suffix? Or do you require to introduce a new (and not compatible in the best case) file format to accept it as the new version?

Hey Jan,
What do you think about .NET Native?
Productivity of C# with the performance of C++.... ?
Sounds like just the ticket for Mstn.

.NET Native is currently focused on Windows Store apps.

Not the inference I would make.
Apparently, desktop apps are on the road map.
And, Bentley has made an investment in mobile apps. Xamarin-style write once deploy on both desktop and mobile? https://xamarin.com
Seems like you would need something this for cloud based 'BENTLEY CONNECT' dev.
GC is based on C#, dotNET. I suspect that there are quite a number of apps and dev that have a lot C# experience versus C++, C or MDL.
