Bentley View Compatibility (MicroStation)
Seamless file sharing and review tool.
Definition
In MicroStation, Bentley View Compatibility represents a core architectural mechanism. The capability to export and review DGN designs in lightweight viewer formats, allowing external clients to measure and inspect designs.
Why it matters
Mastering Bentley View Compatibility is critical for production-grade deliverables. Streamlines project review cycles, allowing stakeholders to check clearances without licenses of CAD software.
Common pitfalls
- Exposing highly proprietary 3D coordinates to un-secure client viewers.
- Mismatched version exports.
This concept is a core structural element of the MicroStation drafting and engineering environment developed by Bentley Systems. Bentley's foundational high-performance CAD and BIM platform for large-scale global infrastructure projects.
