Answer: MicroStation GeoGraphics v7.0 is a key engineering product and forms the foundation for discipline specific applications as part of the MicroStation/J Geoengineering Configuration. By configuring MicroStation/J for a particular use (via an Engineering Configuration, for example MicroStation GeoGraphics v7), it significantly increases user productivity and offers a more natural and easy-to-use environment for geoengineering users than plain MicroStation elements and operations.

Answer: MicroStation GeoGraphics v7.0 has been developed and certified to run on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, and Windows 98.

Answer: Image Manager is now exclusively delivered in MicroStation/J. Image Manager must be turned on under "Utilities" in the MicroStation/J installer for it to be installed--it's not installed by default. After it is installed in MicroStation/J, the Image Manager choice is located under the File > Image Manager menu.

Answer: The license is placed in a different directory from previous versions due to the new MicroStation/J directory structure. The license file is named MSGEO.lic and is saved in the \Bentley\Program\Licensing directory. When you register your new version of MicroStation GeoGraphics v7.0, a license file will be sent you. Place the license file in the \Bentley\Program\Licensing directory. Answer: MicroStation/J and MicroStation GeoGraphics v7.0 use the Microsoft ODBC drivers of 3.51.

Answer: Yes. MicroStation GeoGraphics v7.0 includes new workflow tutorial documentation. The MicroStation GeoGraphics Workflows are available online in Adobe Acrobat PDF format on the Web Downloads web site as well as in the \Docs\GG_J\workflow directory on the installation CD. The MicroStation GeoGraphics QuickStart Guide is also useful for a general overview in using the MicroStation GeoGraphics tools.

Answer: All documentation is online in Adobe Acrobat PDF format on the Web Downloads web site and on the installation CD in the \Docs\GG_J directory.

Answer: At the time of writing this TechNote, you must have MicroStation V8 version 08.00.04.01 installed. Always check the "Applicable To" field in the Web Downloads dialog for the current release of MicroStation GeoGraphics to determine the appropriate versions of all products. This will list the correct version of MicroStation V8 for the current release of MicroStation GeoGraphics.

Answer: Yes. When you install MicroStation GeoGraphics, you are asked whether you want to use Oracle 8i or 9i files and the correct MicroStation database files are installed. The path to the Oracle client files is stored in the configuration variable MS_ORACLE_HOME. If it becomes necessary after GeoGraphics has been installed, to change the version of Oracle, you must modify MS_ORACLE_HOME in the ..\Bentley\Program\MicroStation\config\appl\sdodgn.cfg file.

Answer: Delivered with the software, the Online Help is available through the Help > GeoGraphics Contents. Links to the help files are also delivered in the Start > Programs > MicroStation V8 > Documentation folder. Always download the documentation from SELECTservices Online. You will find the documentation button immediately underneath the Download button. This download an .exe file that you must unzip into a folder.

Answer: The MicroStation directory structure has been reorganized to facilitate updating MicroStation (continuous improvement) and to reduce the possibility of overwriting data when reinstalling MicroStation during those updates. This especially makes sense for the engineering configuration - it's separates the discipline specific engineering products from the main MicroStation tree and workspace.

Answer: Yes. SELECTserver Deployment (SSD) is not dependent on any specific product or version restrictions. It is capable of assisting in the deployment of all Bentley software.

Note: MS ODBC version 4.00.4202 and higher, we recommend using version MS ODBC 4.00.4202. There have been problems reported with some versions of the ODBC drivers, namely version MS ODBC 4.00.5303. We do not recommend the use of these drivers. (ODBC drivers may be obtained from the Microsoft web site.)

Answer: To open a DWG in MicroStation V8 from the MicroStation Manager, change the list files of type to CAD Files (or DWG). Highlight the file you wish to open and select OK.

Yes. Several new features will be available that will improve and enhance your voice mail experience: specific details about new features will be released as we approach the conversion date.

There are now commercial thinning treatment thresholds which trigger only if cut volume exceeds your pre-specified limit; Log sorts may include/exclude SORTS table dimensions, defect, log position and values differentially by species; A new Selection Verify Tables menu checks all database tables for correct status prior to year-end reporting and harvest planning; Green and dry weight is now reported by Dbh and Lob Dib class for total stem, merchantable bole, bark, branch and foliage.

Answer: If MicroStation Descartes or MicroStation ReproGraphics are loaded while Raster Manager is displaying images, the images will be transferred to Image Manager. The upcoming version 8 of MicroStation Descartes will support Raster Manager. A Beta version of Descartes is currently available at the following location for SELECT Services members: http://selectservices.bentley.com/downloads/web/index.htm

Generics, anonymous methods, partial classes, iterators, property visibility (separate visibility for get and set) and static classes. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/05/C20/default.aspx for more information about these features.

Generics are useful for writing efficient type-independent code, particularly where the types might include value types. The obvious application is container classes, and the .NET 2.0 class library includes a suite of generic container classes in the System.Collections.Generic namespace. Here's a simple example of a generic container class being used: List<int> myList = new List<int>(); myList.

Windows XP has many new features. Users upgrading from the 9x code will find the larges changes in terms of stability. Other great advances are built-in CD-R/RW support, Remote Assistance, a built-in firewall, and Device Driver Rollback. Find a complete feature list here for Home and here for Pro.

Absolutely! The new Logitech Mobile Video v7.0 for desktop is backwards compatible with the current v6.0 and the new v7.0 handsets.

The Vortex 2 still has many of the same features that made the Vortex 1 chipset such a superb product:

Answer: NHANES has a complex, multistage, probability cluster design, which would require the statistical analysis to take into account these sample design features. Specifically, attributes of the complex sample design such as differential weighting, clustering and stratification will all have various impact on variance estimates, estimated standard errors, and thereby test statistics and confidence intervals.

Answer: MicroStation BASIC is supported in MicroStation V8 XM Edition. However, MicroStation BASIC has not been enhanced and is likely to be unsupported in future versions. Bentley recommends migrating existing MicroStation BASIC code to Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Applications.

Answer: This occurs when the working units are not properly defined. Raster Manager for MicroStation/J reads the Sub Unit label and matches that label with the one from the units.ini file. As an example, you cannot have kilometers as the Master Unit and inches as the Sub Unit. This problem also occurs if "SU" is used as the Sub Unit label, and the Master Unit label is anything other than "MU". For the HMR and TIF formats, "SU" is equal to 1 meter.

Answer: Case numbers are requested through the FHA Connection. Access FHA Connection, go to Single Family Origination, go to Case Processing and then go to Case Number Assignment. You may also use an alternative service provider, such as ECHO Connection Plus as long as their capabilities are the same as the FHA Connection.

ANSWER 1: A "Qualified Intermediary" (QI) is an eligible person that enters into a QI Agreement with the IRS pursuant to Rev. Proc. 2000-12, 2000-4 I.R.B. 387, and that acts as a QI under such Agreement.

A data spill has been defined earlier in this FAQ as a security incident that results in the transfer of classified or sensitive (for example, privacy, contract sensitive) information to unaccredited and unauthorized information systems, applications or media. Data spills can be identified when either the originator or sender realizes his error, or when a reader discovers the spilled information.
