MicroStation 2023 Minor Update 2 (23.00.02.71) Win x64

New in Microstation 2023 Minor Update 2 (23.00.02.71)
Geospatial
Continued additions to the incorporated Geospatial Context workflow, which provides direct access to Esri ArcGISTm REST Feature Services and Esri ArcGISTm Map and Image Services, add security and confidence in your data. Access the secure services offered by Esri ArcGISTm Online without using any configuration.
The Feature Info tool has been added to the Raster Services ribbon group to allow the review of the feature information from Esri ArcGISTm Map Services as a Technology Preview.
The Bing Maps feature helps save you time by giving you access to assign a plane when bringing in the map from Bing Maps.
Usability & Productivity
Usability and the overall user experience in MicroStation is a key focus for our team. The following usability and productivity enhancements were implemented to help you save time and be more productive while working in MicroStation:
- Change the fill color of an element using the Change Attributes tool
- Use the AutoConstrain tool on multiple 2D elements in a design file
- Snap through solids and shapes that have a positive transparency value based on a set of conditions/settings
- Added conditions to create accurate solids by using the Solid by Extrusion Along Path tool.
Interoperability
Improved capabilities while working with other file formats like JT, which reduces costs and prevents the need for other software. The JT Explorer dialog now has an organization option to choose how you want to view the structure of the geometry.
Newly added import KML, which enables the import of a Google Earth KML file in the compressed KMZ version available in the Geographic toolbox. (Technology Preview)
Advanced Data Reporting
Deliver more intelligent models with improvements to Item Types, Tables, and Reports that enable you to easily add or remove elements from a report placed as a table on the layout ribbon edit the Item Type information of a File or Model in the Explorer Dialog right-click menu.
Additional Technology Preview Features
Auxiliary Coordinate System
Save time while working on your design files with additions to the Rotate ACS and Move ACS tools enabling you to adjust the position of the ACS by moving or rotating the ACS in the selected axis using the Show Manipulator setting.
DGN Audit
Reduce costly errors by using the DGN Audit tool to Audit DGN files to locate missing attachments (References, Raster, and Point Clouds), and fix range and level issues.
Parametric Modeling
Applying specific types of constraints to elements enables you to save time while conveniently and successfully modeling complex geometry. Additional settings to create a new variable or expression have been added to the 3D Dimension and 3D Angle Constraint Tools. Also, constrain elements to the horizontal X-axis or vertical Y-axis of the ACS triad using the new Horizontal 2D Constraint tool. Lastly, copy features from one parametric solid to another while using the newly added Copy Feature > To Other Solid copy method.
Reality Modeling
Extended capability in the Attach Point Cloud from Reality Management tool, which now allows the attachment of an Orbit Mapping Run (OMR) file as a point cloud and helps reduce cost from having to purchase more software

Introduction to MicroStation CONNECT Edition for Building Designers
This video series contains exercises intended to help a new MicroStation user become familiar with the MicroStation CONNECT Edition. This will be done from the point of view of a building designer or drafter working at a design firm, that is new to MicroStation, and has been awarded a design project that they will be involved with. During this course you will learn basic navigation of the MicroStation CONNECT user interface, creating and working with MicroStation design files, design file settings, and more.
