    Navigating in the djungle och Navigator

    Hi,

    I´m new at Bentley and i would appreciate if someone could take a minute to help me.

    My problem is following. Our company has a project that needs a program to handle i.dgn and overlay.dgn files, i´ve been in contact with bentley

    and i´ve got like ten diffrent answers. 

    The first time they recommended Navigator V8i, Later i heard that they dont eve have that program anymore?

    Then i´ve heard that i need Navigator SelectSeries, *** i cant find anywherem

    When i later on order Navigator, i state my purpose that i need a program for i.dgn and overlay.dgn. (in my world i look for a real version of Bentley view).

    Instead i got Bentley connect, what is that? i cant open my file formats and it looks like a more simpler version? I want the real navigator version and not some simplified and easy to use version.

    I´m I completely out of bounds here? What is the different between these programs?

    Thank you for your time

      Hi,

      CONNECT is the current generation of Bentley programs.

      V8i  is the still mostly used generations - the previous generations (V8i Select Series >numbers counting< are the somewhat yearly actualisation steps)

      Depending on what your current CAD environment is you will need the according version of Navigator.

      Bentley Navigator is the Software for the tasks of a "Reviewer" - the person that creates comments on an overlay. And amongst other things allow clash detection

      Bentley View only allows you to view/print cad files.

      Bentley I-model Composer is mainly for a "Administrator" to create (a) Master Model(s) from the different crafts (to reference different models and create a "Master" I-model.

      The craft specific applications (microStation et. al.) can display the comments/markups from Navigator and "Designers" can communicate with the reviewers through the Markup dialogs

      You see you need the right bit of software for every role in the process.I have been giving trainings on the full Review Process - so I guess I might be able help you out with questions.
