Bentley is pleased to announce the availability of Bentley View XM Edition Commercial Release (v08.09.03.51) from SELECTservices Online.

Bentley View extends the accessibility of engineering data for MicroStation, AutoCAD, or hybrid projects. Bentley View is designed for casual users and enables the native viewing of both DGN and DWG drawings and models. It is based on the same technology as MicroStation, and combines easy-to-use viewing, measuring, and printing tools with the ability to review design history for DGN files. Bentley View is freely available for anyone to use and can be downloaded from www.bentley.com/en-US/Products/Bentley+View/Overview.htm.

Highlights of Bentley View XM Edition (v08.09.03.51) include, among other things:

  • Enhanced viewing and navigation toolsets
  • AutoCAD 2007 DWG support
  • Multi-core/multi-processor support
  • Support for Windows Vista

Important Information Regarding Bentley View XM Edition (v08.09.03.51)

MicroStation V8 XM Edition Software Prerequisite Pack (v08.09.03.06)

You must install the MicroStation V8 XM Edition Software Prerequisite Pack (v08.09.03.06) prior to the installation of Bentley View XM Edition (v08.09.03.51). Furthermore, you must install this later version of the MicroStation V8 XM Edition Software Prerequisite Pack prior to the installation of Bentley View XM Edition (v08.09.03.51) even if you have already installed a previous version of the MicroStation V8 XM Edition Software Prerequisite Pack (v08.09.00.xx) on the same workstation.

Installing to same workstation as Bentley View XM Edition v08.09.02.xx

If you are installing Bentley View XM Edition v08.09.03.51 to a workstation that already has an earlier commercial release of Bentley View XM Edition (v08.09.02.xx) installed, the installation will perform a major upgrade. Bentley View XM Edition v08.09.03.51 will silently uninstall the existing v08.09.02.xx release. Any new files or directories that were previously created in your Bentley View XM Edition v08.09.02.xx install directories will be preserved, but any changes that were made to its delivered files will be lost.
