As a site that has written a number of MDL's over the years we were initially shocked at the expense we had to go to with converting our V8i MDL's to Connect MDL's.
It would now appear (please correct me if I'm wrong) that since Microstation Connect Update 5, where previously we used to have access to the SDK for each release of Microstation under our SELECT Agreement, this has now been withdrawn unless we go through an additional step and cost of joining the BDN. Having just renewed our SELECT Agreement I don't recall ever being notified of this???
IF Bentley have done this I would like to join with other Users in objecting in the strongest possible terms.
Having already expended a great deal of time and cost in transferring our existing MDL's to Connect this is like having salt rubbed into the wounds by Bentley.
I'm hoping this is a mistake that Bentley will rectify ASAP. As existing SELECT subscribers we expect the SDK to be made available with each release of Microstation.
