Interoperability with ESRI Geodatabase
Bentley and ESRI workflows are easily integrated
- Enables use of MicroStation applications to edit data stored in ESRI geodatabases
- Supports disconnected editing workflows
- Batch extraction and posting
- Creates XML Feature Modeling (XFM) DGNs
- Ensures integrity of geodatabase
- Geodatabase feature definitions and constraints respected during edit sessions in MicroStation
- Posts information back to a standard geodatabase version
- Conflicts upon posting can be rolled back to permit resolution
XML Feature Modeling
Manages attribution, set properties, relationships, and placement behaviors during editing in MicroStation application
- XML metadata drives dialog choices and design behaviors
- Provides mechanism to inherit geodatabase schema, constraints, parameters, and rules
- Configuration of point, line, and polygon symbology and other information via administrator tool
- Geometries and attributes integrated to support disconnected editing, design history, and digital signatures
- Metadata associated with DGN documents are managed in ProjectWise Geospatial Management
Geodatabase Support
- Point, line, polygon, and annotation feature classes and categorization
- Feature domain constraints and subtypes
- Symbology support for text based annotations
- Versions and spatial reference system
Managed Extract, Modify, Post Process
Extract, Modify, and Post paradigm
- Process is completely managed via ProjectWise Geospatial Management or the Bentley Geospatial Server
- Extraction and posting are configured via an easy-to-use GUI
- The user is guided through selecting geospatial and non-geospatial query criteria.
- Complex queries (spatial and non-spatial) can define the information to be extracted directly from the ProjectWise Geospatial Management interface
- Multiple DGN files can be created from the area defined for extraction from the geodatabase
- Extraction and posting operations can be easily automated to streamline workflows involving large amounts of data
- Server infrastructure allows reliable management of large scale jobs
- Users can take advantage of all the security, workflow, and version management capabilities of ProjectWise
- Showing or hide certain parts of the ArcSDE database to specified users
On-the-Fly Coordinate System Transformation
- Transforms data into target coordinate system during extraction
- Support for more than five thousand coordinate systems
- User-defined coordinate systems

Customization and Administration
Complete integration with the Geospatial Connector Administrator
- Configure the parameters, referred to as configuration sets, controlling the extract or post workflow
- Easily specify database connection information and metadata
- Take advantage of all the ProjectWise Administrator Tools
- Customize the ProjectWise client
- Customize the MicroStation editing application
- Customize the ArcGIS Connector processes
- Productive customization through the use of the Geospatial Administrator, as well as Web Services, XML, and .NET languages
