View dwg and dgn file formats using Bentley View not MicroStation or AutoCAD


 Product(s):Bentley View V8 XM Edition
 Version(s):08.09.04.51
 Area: General
 Original Author:Bentley Technical Support Group

Problem

User is in ProjectWise and trying to View dwg and dgn file formats using Bentley View. Files are opening with their respective file formats such as MicroStation and/or AutoCAD even though the user’s application associations in ProjectWise Administrator are set to View using Bentley View.

Solution

Bentley View in XM versions are not supported/integrated with ProjectWise XM Versions.  Bentley Redline which is delivered with ProjectWise Explorer is the recommended Viewing Option for dwg and dgn file formats.

Note:  Bentley View is supported/integrated with ProjectWise 2004 and V8i. If the user chooses Redline as the preferred method in ProjectWise V8i then it would require the use of Navigator.
