SDK B Navigator

Hi Alessandro,

at first, I'd like to ask you to read and follow forum best practices. They help not only to standardize things like subject format etc., but also define a set of information that always should be shared (e.g. product version),  which help to make the discussion more efficient.

Can I please have info

There are 2 completely different Navigators. For both, as far as I know, the answer is "it's not possible" (I guess you should be able to find both answers quickly using searching this web):

• Bentley Navigator V8i is based on power platform (MicroStation engine), so internally it shares the same technology as MicroStation, but the product itself is closed for development.
• Bentley Navigator CONNECT Edition uses i-model format and is not developed on top of power platform, but different set of technologies, so there is no SDK at all.

With regards,

  Jan

Hi Jan, 

My apologies for not following the best practices. It was my first time using the B communities. 

Thank you for your quick answer.

Kind regards,

Alessandro

In such case, I recommend:

• To read the best practices (when you will check MicroStation Programming forum, you will see many members follow them, some not ;-)
• Check this page. It provides links to other BDN and general programming sources, communities etc.

Also, please do not post any question twice in more forums! It's really confusing when you read the same question several times and it's not clear what discussion is "active".

BTW As Maria Garciaparallel discussion mentioned in parallel discussion, Bentley Navigator is not developed anymore. It extends my previous answer: Navigator V8i development was stopped when CE version was released, and CE version development was stopped at the end of the last year and is replaced by Design Review cloud solution, based on iTwin (iModelJS) technology.

With regards,
