Hello Civil Users,
There is a problem which can occur in the following product versions under specific circumstances which might interest you. Affected versions are: Bentley GEOPAK Civil Engineering Suite V8i - 08.11.05.31 Bentley GEOPAK Site V8i - 08.11.05.31 Bentley GEOPAK Survey V8i - 08.11.05.31 Bentley InRoads Suite V8i - 08.11.05.45 • InRoads • InRoads Suite • InRoads Bridge • InRoads Site • InRoads Site Suite • InRoads Storm & Sanitary • InRoads Survey • Rail Track Bentley Rail Track V8i - 08.11.05.45 • Rail Track • InRoads • InRoads Suite • InRoads Bridge • InRoads Site6 • InRoads Site Suite • InRoads Storm & Sanitary • InRoads Survey Bentley PowerSurvey V8i - 08.11.05.45 Bentley PowerCivil for Americas V8i - 08.11.05.37
This will only happen in files where the units are feet or imperial units. Users with their Working Units set to Meters/metric will not experience the problem.
In MicroStation, Distance keyin fields are available for tool settings, if you use multiplication or division to derive a value, the divisor or multiplier is getting converted to metric before the result is computed resulting in an incorrect value. Example: 12/2=19.69 or 12*2=7.32 The error seems pretty obvious but there might be calculations where it isn't.
This does not affect any Civil product dialogs.
Bentley has resolved the problem and posted a new version of products. You may choose to re-install the product or possibly just inform users of the error instead. Others who do not use the multiplication or division functionality in key in fields will not need to re-install product either.
New versions are: Bentley GEOPAK Civil Engineering Suite V8i - 08.11.05.32 Bentley GEOPAK Site V8i - 08.11.05.32 Bentley GEOPAK Survey V8i - 08.11.05.32 Bentley InRoads Suite V8i - 08.11.05.47 • InRoads • InRoads Suite • InRoads Bridge • InRoads Site • InRoads Site Suite • InRoads Storm & Sanitary • InRoads Survey • Rail Track Bentley Rail Track V8i - 08.11.05.47 • Rail Track • InRoads • InRoads Suite • InRoads Bridge • InRoads Site • InRoads Site Suite • InRoads Storm & Sanitary • InRoads Survey Bentley PowerSurvey V8i - 08.11.05.47 Bentley PowerCivil for Americas V8i - 08.11.05.39
