Microstation CONNECT: Element not obeying constraints when parametric variables change
I'm modelling a U-Bridge on Microstation CONNECT Update 11 and have many parameters within an Item Type list that can be changed via Dimensional>Variables. The majority of the parameters are equations and if statements depending on the 9 or so input variables…
[Parametric Modelling] Table view for Variables
It would be really nice to have a view option for the variables window when creating parametric cells.
This way you could see more than one variable-set at a time and it would be much faster to edit the values.
What I imagine:

Reporting for CAD Administrators: Working Units, Scales and Coordinate System Reporting
In a project if you ever have encountered a design file that came from outside your company, department or group, you probably already know that no two “dgn” files are equal. In some cases they don’t print correctly, line styles don’t display correctly…

I have been setting up a corporate workspace for MS & ORD and really like how CONNECT will copy the various seed files either upon startup, or when necessary (such as customizing the ribbon for the dgnlib). However, I am not seeing this behavior for the…
Migrating V8i Projects to MicroStation CONNECT WorkSets
MicroStation V8i based configurations, made up of configuration files and variables, were typically referred to as a “Workspace”. A Workspace was composed of Users and Projects. The MicroStation CONNECT Edition is still made up of configuration files…

DWG workmode not allowing the creation of Print Styles
Is there a variable that will allow the users to create print styles in a project dgnlib when in DWG workmode? Also, is it possible to utilize a dgnlib when in DWG workmode? I have seen mixed results when attempting this.
Thanks,
