The Bentley ProjectWise Connector for ArcGIS Software supports user-initiated or event-driven interoperability with the ESRI ArcSDE Geodatabase. The Connector for ArcGIS supports an intelligent extract and post paradigm. Bentley users can retrieve Geodatabase data for use in AEC and mapping workflows, and later post the appropriate information for use by ESRI users.
The Connector for ArcGIS Software supports true semantic interoperability. Features can be extracted from the Geodatabase into managed DGN files and used as references in design sessions. Domain constraints and rules are preserved in the extraction process, and respected during feature creation or modification with MicroStation GeoGraphics and other Bentley products supporting XML Feature Modeling. Administrative tools permit configuration and management of extractions and posts, and the extensive capabilities of ProjectWise can be leveraged in customized workflows.
