This sounds like my issue, when trying to use the "Capture Google Earth Image" tool i get the following error:

"This feature is not supported by Google Earth versions higher than '7.1.8.3036'. We recommend using Google Earth version '7.1.8.3036' or lower."

I have confirmed I am using Google Earth version '7.1.8.3036'. So it sounds like this issue should be fixed soon? Do we know with what version?

Looks like some fixes in Microstation CE U17.2 - hopefully makes it into the next ORD version apparently due soon:

Fixed issue with Google Earth Synchronization tool displaying error message of incorrect version.

Hi Atul

As far as I know Google changed some of their policies and not even the old versions of Google Earth integrate anymore. We've given up on MS/GE integration and work solely with the built-in Bing Maps functionality.
