Greetings Paul, At this time, there is no alternative other than allow Bentley Map Mobile Publisher to package the raster reference file attachments into the Bentley Map Mobile .imodel file. As you may know, you can use the MS_RASTER_DOWNSAMPLING_PREFSIZE_FORIMODEL…

Alan, The process by which the Bentley Map Mobile Converter can be used to generate changesets for distribution to Bentley Map Mobile users can be summarized as follows: Use Bentley Map Mobile Converter to create a baseline Bentley Map Mobile .imodel…

Jan, The latest Bentley Map Mobile Publisher 05.05.02.11 commercial release includes the new Bentley Map Mobile Converter , a 64-bit standalone command line tool (MapMobileConverter.exe), that runs from a Windows command shell, does not require use…

Jan, You are correct. During the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher process, a temporary .i.dgn file is created, then converted into .imodel format. The Bentley Map Mobile Converter process does not create an intermediate file, going directly from design…

Alan, As always, your feedback is welcomed. The previously mentioned "Bentley Map Mobile - Markup Explorer" will include a standalone Windows application and Bentley Map add-in, providing users the ability to search, sort, group, view, extract, report…

...yes Cliff, assigning a geographic coordinate system in the design file before running the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher process should correct this issue.

Cliff, It is good to hear that you've made progress. When creating i-models that contain raster data, a 94mb file size is not unexpected. In fact, depending on the amount of raster and the selected raster image downsampling applied, the i-model could…

Greetings Cliff, Yes, you can use Bentley Map Mobile Publisher to produce Bentley Map Mobile i-models from Bentley Map and MicroStation data for use in mobile workflows. Please refer to the following resources for additional information: Bentley…

Cliff, Yes, Bentley Map Mobile is designed for field checking scenarios. You will need to install the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher, which works with Bentley Map to create the i-models. There are three editions of Bentley Map Mobile, one each for iOS…

Thad, You've not missed anything. Embedded documents are not currently supported. We do plan to include that capability in a future Bentley Map Mobile release.

Bjorn, If you could contact me directly offline I would like to obtain from you a sample of the data (including attachments) you would like to publish for use in Bentley Map Mobile workflows.

Bjorn, We are working to release Bentley Map Mobile and Bentley Map Mobile Publisher updates later this year that will include the ability to publish Bentley Map Mobile i-models that include document attachments, including images and documents. In addition…

Bjorn, The current Bentley Map Mobile Publisher process uses the actual element symbology that can be set with the feature class definition in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator or through the use of MicroStation tools such as Change Element or Element…

I-models should do the job for your Users Bruce. The process can be run unattended using the keyin: PUBLISHER PUBLISH <path\settings_file> Note: Using <path\settings_file> runs the publisher in silent mode. MicroStation users would open the I-model…

Bjorn, Could you provide us a copy of the input design file(s) as well as the published Bentley Map Mobile i-model for review? Please contact me directly via private message if you require a secure upload location.

Erik, I would recommend that you uninstall/reinstall Bentley Map Mobile Publisher 05.02.01.16 on the Bentley Map V8i (SELECTseries 4) 08.11.09.614 maintenance release. If after that you are still unable to see the expected "File > Publish for Map Mobile…

Erik, The installer for the current Bentley Map Mobile Publisher should search for Bentley Map installations in the following order... Bentley Map Enterprise Bentley Map (standalone) Bentley Map (layered for MicroStation) ...installing on…

Alan, Last week during my Bentley Map Mobile related lectures at the Bentley LEARNing Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana I provided a preview of the next generation Bentley Map Mobile Publisher currently under development. In this preview I demonstrated…

Stirling, We have considered this but referencing multiple i-models is not currently planned. We have however developed capabilities that allow Bentley Map Mobile users to quickly and efficiently generate and distribute "delta change sets" for large…

Alan, We appreciate your feedback. For item 1, the expiry date can be defined for Bentley Map Mobile Publisher using one of the following configuration variables: MAPMOBILEPUBLISHER_EXPIRY_DATE =3/31/2015 (defines explicit expiry date, default…
