The Bentley Map Mobile Converter is installed with the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher product, providing additional capabilities for the production of Bentley Map Mobile i-models. Please refer to the "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)" and "Functional Matrix" sections for more information.
The Bentley Map Mobile Converter is a 64-bit standalone command line tool that does not require use of a Bentley Map session and provides extensive configuration capabilities to produce Bentley Map Mobile i-models from both Bentley Map and MicroStation design file data. It can process 1 or more, even 1,000s of input design files to create a single Bentley Map Mobile i-model. Please refer to the "Getting Started" section for more information on how to setup an environment for Bentley Map Mobile Converter use.
The Bentley Map Mobile Converter can be used from the Windows command line or from within a ProjectWise i-model Composition Server and Bentley Automated Services environment to automate and schedule the production of Bentley Map Mobile i-models suited to your organization's specific requirements
Using configuration files, the Bentley Map Mobile Converter provides significant control of the data conversion process for both Bentley Map and MicroStation design and reference files. Please refer to the "Custom Configuration Files" section for more information on the following data conversion settings.
For MicroStation design files, no Bentley Geospatial Administrator schema is required. If you have Bentley Map XFM design file data w/o a Bentley Geospatial Administrator schema, you can use either the "Default Configuration File" or a "Custom Configuration File" with the Bentley Map Mobile Converter to create Bentley Map Mobile i-models.
The Bentley Map Mobile Converter can also detect changes to input design file(s) and generate .changes files containing changesets which can be used for "Incremental File Updates" in Bentley Map Mobile to ensure field personnel have the latest data w/o requiring reloading of data on mobile devices. Please refer to the "Change Detection" section for more information.
