Pinned ideas

PINNED What happens after I submit an idea?
The Bentley Ideas Portals are intended to offer users the opportunity to share ideas more directly and conveniently with our product development teams for consideration. There is no longer a need to raise a technical support ticket in order to pro...
PINNED Add measuring/pick distance tool in parametric solid and variables tools
As a MicroStation modelling user, I would like the capability of filling the Distance field by picking two points (or distance between other elements) from within the tool, so that I can be much quicker in creating solids and other elements where ...

muliple screen support

Even if Microstation support multiple screens, 3 exactly , i think the way needs some improvements.This must be done automatically in the session without need to change settings. and not even set in how many screens you want to display.And have th...

View independent lock only X, Y or Z

Hi!View independent is an amazing tool, but! It would be even more amazing to be able to lock the independecy to either X, Y or Z.For example:I would like to put trees that look the same from all angles but that are only a 2D representation of tha...

Parametric Solids Quantification Fix

Mstn was pioneering in providing solid modeling to the AEC market. But the Parasolids kernel has its origins in the MCAD world. Reporting volumes and areas is great, but in the AEC world, we need to be able to able to break things down further. Fo...

Parametric association for arraying along a path

It would be cool to have a tool that would allow us to array along a path (smartline, bspline, etc.) and then update as we change the path. For instance, I can extrude a profile along a path and then modify that path and not have to rerun the extr...

Constraints: Property Panel - Host 2d Solving Plane

The 2d Constraints tools are based on solving on a plane (2d). It would be good to expose and report this 'host' plane in the Properties Panel (Ctrl-I).If there are multiple solving planes in the model (very likely) they should be numbered and re-...

Constraints: Option to manually include 'construction' geometry into the cell or constraints group

Transfered from the EAP Ideas list.With Feature Solids, profile geometry used for protrusions, subtractions etc are stored with the FS element / Cells. They can be displayed on screen when there is a need to re-visit and edit the profiles. This is...

Constraints: Drop / Ungroup Cell with Constraints

When a Cell is dropped or an Orphan Cell (Ctrl-G) is dropped, the Constraints go missing.This makes it difficult to store and re-use design intent.The Cell creation / grouping process should honour and retain the element's Constraints.

Constraints: Associative Copy Parallel

Transfered from EAP Ideas listIt be very good to be able associatively link an element in the active model to an element in a Ref attachment.... using the Copy Parallel tool.I understand that CVE elements retain a link back to their original eleme...
