hi,
I think I missed sth. I would like to test new Text Favorites Manager that was announced to be enabled with ORD Update 3 as it consumes Microstation Update 8 platform.
Is there a hidden switch to run Text Fav Manager? How to start the tool. I thought it is accessible via Text Editor, under Text Text Favorites/Manage.
In my installation it is missing. I am running 10.03.00.43.
thanks in advance for your assistance.
I received this message from Bentley support about the Text Favorite Manager.
I had a feedback from my colleagues, because it is a Tech Preview, it has a date timeout. If they set the date on their computer closer to the release of the software it will work again. The best advice would be to upgrade to our latest release.
I was using ORD 2018 rel 4 (ver 10.06.00.38) when it timed out. I suspect it was set to time out around the end on April 2019. I upgraded to ORD 2019 rel 1 (ver 10.07.00.56) and now the Text favorite Manager works as expected.
However, even in 2019 rel 1 Text Favorite Manager is still listed as a Technology Preview. I questioned Bentley about this and they confirmed that it could time out at some point since it is a Technology Preview. Bentley support did not tell me when Text Favorite Manager would be promoted from Technology Preview and made part of ORD.
I was reluctant to upgrade for one feature but I was in the middle of configuring company standards and needed Text Favorite Manager. I don't know how to edit Text Favorites without it. WARNING - I had to upgrade all ORD users. ORD 2018 rel 4 would not open my ORD 2019 rel 1 files. Everybody needs to be on the same version.
Good luck
