Using the MicroStation SDK with Power InRoads.

My company has recently changed from MicroStation to Power InRoads.  Both SS2 and SS4 varieties have been installed.  Is it possible to use the MicroStation SDK to access the MicroStation functions of Power InRoads?  Is it as simple as just changing the Install path for the SDK?  It doesn't seem correct to install it twice to use on both SS2 and SS4.  I am not sure if I can switch between the versions even if I do install the SDK twice or just once for that matter.  I would think that the environment settings would reflect the second install only.

Thanks,

Jason

  • Hi Jason,

    Bentley uses the same core MicroStation engine across their products. The same core objects and functions will be available within the V8i family. Only the reference needs to be changed to reflect your current product. For .Net projects the MicroStation SDK is only used to validate the command table. FYI: Although not asked, there is a slight difference in the main addin to implement the InRoads SDK (Power InRoads SS2) and the Bentley Civil SDK (Power InRoads SS4) in their respective products.
