Bentley View CE

We the user base demand that Bentley release and continue to release Bentley View.  

It is a very powerful tool.  In some cases the users will make this their default application for DGN & DWG.  Senior managers are encouraged to use it, so they do not screw up the data.

It is IMPORTANT to the users to have this and we need a CE version, more so for ACAD 2018+ support

  • I do not recall Bentley View being 'free', ever. Bentley gave 500 'free' licences along with any other Bntley design software you purchased. The amount of 500 licenses has been more then enough for our organisation. I believe you can create a (limited) Bentley account for those 3rd parties that are outside your firm, so that they can acces Bentley View while co-working on your project.
    Anyway, 'free' seems somewhat limited if you start comparing.

    In addition to viewing 3D models, you can use Bentley View as a free CAD viewer with tools to search for objects, measure distances and areas accurately, and print drawings to scale with full fidelity, on every desktop, for free.



    iWare is free software that extends Bentley’s products and services to support unprecedented information mobility.

    Starting with connection client integration these it now asks to associate user to existing organization. Technically free but requires too many steps in reality. Way to go if like to scare new customers away from using Bentley products with too much bureaucracy.

  • In my opinion Bentley View CE should be FREE and not integrated in the connections client... we need external users not associated to Bentley software being able to use this tool without having to register.
