Bentley View Help

Setting Up Standard Integration

If you have ProjectWise Explorer installed on your computer, when you start Bentley View, it is integrated automatically with ProjectWise. If this is your preference, in the ProjectWise Log in dialog that opens when you start the application, select the datasource and type your user name and password.

To confirm integration, select File > Open in Bentley View, and you will see ProjectWise’s File Open dialog, rather than the application's native File Open dialog.

If Bentley View is the only Bentley application installed on your computer that is registered to open DGNs, then all you need to do is double-click a DGN document in ProjectWise Explorer and it will open in Bentley View. If you have more than one Bentley application installed on your computer that is registered to open DGNs, then in ProjectWise Explorer, you need to associate which documents you want to open in which application.
