This topic summarizes the new features and enhancements in MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 11.
CONNECT Licensing
MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 11 implements the new CONNECT Licensing feature which is an improved process of product activation and license management.

Here, under Entitlements, you will see a list of products that you are entitled to.

The proxy server settings for all features is now managed from Options dialog of the CONNECT Licensing service.

You can now select the units for the exported file in the FBX Export Settings dialog.
About Technology Preview Features

You can now export and import Item Type definitions and instances to and from Excel files using the Item Type Import/Export tool.
[Technology Preview] Named Presentations
You can use Named Presentations to represent different symbology for an element in different view orientations. For example, a door can be represented differently in top, front/rear elevation and isometric views.
