People: Are users trained and ready to use the new software?Ĭustomizations: How are we going to migrate company specific customizations? (Custom GUI, Workspace CFGs, Plotting scripts etc.)Īpplications and Utilities: Do my 3rd party applications work correctly? How about custom applications we authored?Īlong with migrating your data, you may want to consider using some of the new functionality in the CONNECT Edition. Software: How will the new software be deployed and licensed?ĭata: How will the existing data be backed up and upgraded? Hardware: What are the new hardware requirements? Do we need upgrades? The hard part about migration is that any of the following can cause failure: If you have no idea on any of this data you will want to investigate a little further and find out. Where are your design files, cell libraries, custom line styles and fonts located (stored)?ĭo you have any custom programming for MicroStation (MDL, MACROS, JAVA, etc.)? How much data is on your network being shared, or are you a one person shop?Īre you using any third party software (Bentley or other)? The first thing to consider would be how you are currently using MicroStation: Each company is going to be different, because MicroStation is not used the same way in every company, site, or discipline. There is no checklist around for you to use. This is the same data that you want to move to the CONNECT Edition. If you were to take everything you needed for your CAD data and put it in a folder for a client, to backup, to move to a new server on your network somewhere, etc. The best way to look at this is, that all the data you use on a daily basis for MicroStation is what will need to be moved into the CONNECT Edition. Do I do it myself? Do I hire an outside source? What is involved in such a task?
This is where the decision of the CAD Manager comes in. They spent a lot of time on this dilemma and came up with the CONNECT Edition. There is a lot more functionality for the CAD Manager to take advantage of in this new version.īecause the earlier versions contained limitations that could not be avoided, Bentley decided that this had to be changed. MicroStation CONNECT Edition is a little different than any previous version of MicroStation. Considering Migrating to MicroStation CONNECT Edition?
