  • 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.

    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.

    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?
