Bentley ProjectWise Explorer Software Download and Installation Instructions
ProjectWise Is a software application that manages project drawings and other project data; and facilitates project collaboration between LA DOTD and consultant project team members. Consultants will be required to use this software when specified in the contract. In some cases, consultants may be required to upload or download project files via ProjectWise regardless of any contract requirement.
ProjectWise Explorer Client V8i (Series 4) Edition
ProjectWise Explorer is an ideal platform for managing drawing storage, security, workflow, editing, viewing, searching, comparing and upload/download. ProjectWise resolves many file management challenges. The ProjectWise Explorer application is provided free of charge for consultants working on LA DOTD projects. The Bentley Design Integration Visa License required to run ProjectWise will be the Consultants responsibility to purchase. This Design Integration Visa License must be managed on-site using Bentley Select Server or must be hosted and managed by Bentley with their Select Server product.
