2. BENTLEY LAUNCHES OPENDGN PROGRAM, PLANT DIVISION
Bentley Systems outlines its OpenDGN for V8 program, designed to
encourage reuse of AEC data. Under the program, Bentley will support
an independent, nonprofit consortium that will maintain and license
libraries that read and write V8 DGN format. The libraries will be
provided free to end users. Bentley SELECT subscribers will gain
unlimited use of Bentley Redline software within their organizations.
They will also be able to publish e-plots online that recipients can
view and plot locally.
