ADD A NEW IDEA

Pinned ideas

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 ...
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...

Multiple Session Support

I think that the official line is that multiple sessions of Mstn is not supported, although this is possible (both with and without ProjectWise). I think that it is increasingly unavoidable in a production environment. Reasons include: Increasingl...

Change All Element Attributes and Properties by Element

About 30 years a go I wrote a UCM macro do do this and figured at some time Bentley would have it included as standard but still waiting. We have a Change Element Attributes function that allows us to click an element, and when we then click secon...

Surface - Sweep 2 long 2 with constrained profiles

I want to sweep 2 constrained profiles along either 1 or 2 paths. The end result is to be able to edit the constraint values and the 3d surface or solids updates. If I use Solid > Extrude along, it works, but with only 1 profile. If I try an...

Item Type: Auto Number field

It would be very useful to have an auto number / auto increment feature for Item Types. This auto number would find the next available number (within a defined point space) based on the Item Type. The way I imagine this working is I set the AutoNu...

Compress - Add options for deleting unused fonts/shared cell definitions

In trying to delete "unused" levels, Compress does not delete unused shared cell definitions, so often this must be done separately. Also, unused fonts are also not a Compress option. I like to get my files as "clean" as possible, particularly whe...
