Publishing compatible i-model(s) from MicroStation

Problem

Why when I publish an i-model from MicroStation can it not be opened with other products such as Navigator?

Background

There are multiple i-model versions and thus the applications publishing and opening will need to have a compatible i-model version.  

Solution

The following table shows the default versions of i-model published from MicroStation.

*Note all the above MicroStation versions can publish i.dgn
Check against the opening application(s) version (For example Navigator) to see if the published i-model is compatible.
