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...
If you want suggestions on what an audit/repair tool should do, look in the dusty archives for documentation on the EDG tool from V4 to V7. This utility was very useful for analyzing and repairing corrupted files in a non-graphic environment. Here...

Mstn's Graphic Cells can be different and still have the same name. This can lead to confusion when the user uses the Replace Cell tool. When the user selects multiple Cells to be replaced, it would be good to have the Replace Cell tool do a dupli...
