MicroStation SS3 is out; Bentley Map SS3 is out -- any idea when Bentley Water SS3 will be out?
Without Bentley Water SS3 being out, can I upgrade the basic MicroStation on my computer to SS3 from SS2 without causing problems?
Hi Brian. Sorry for the long delay before answering. You should be able to upgrade Microstation from V8i SELECTSeries2 to V8i SELECTSeries 3 and Bentley Water V8i SELECTSeries 2 should work just fine. If you need, you should also be able to upgrade Bentley Map from V8i SELECTSeries 2 to V8i SELECTSeries 3 after upgrading Microstation. Note however that if you upgrade Bentley Map, as there was a file format change, you will have to do a "Save As" of all your dgn files to the new XFM format before you can work with them.

I second what Martin has said about MicroStation SELECTseries3. But I would like to add that there is an issue under investigation with upgrading Bentley Map to SELECTseries3 in that scenario. If you can hold off longer on the Map upgrade, please do until we can get you more information.
Will this also work with Bentley Map Enterprise V8i (SELECTSeries 3), or just Bentley Map with MicroStation?
Hi Ian. Bentley Map Enterprise is a standalone product, I do not think you can run Water on it, Water needs the real Microstation.
Is there any progress on upgrading to Bentley Map SS3?
Can someone advise me on the best way to upgrade to BM SS2?
Also is there any known issues with upgrading the Bentley Map component to SS2 when you connect to Oracle?
Thanks
