Make sure you know which update version of MS CONNECT you are on.NOTE: All tools can be quickly found by searching their name in the search bar, located in the upper right corner. By following these steps, it is possible to display the TopoDOT 64bit (for CONNECT) tools in both the Taskbar and the Ribbon simultaneously. Some users may prefer the Taskbar, and many training videos utilize this Taskbar, however your Taskbar may not be setup by default for MS CONNECT. TopoDOT 64bit tools are located in both the Taskbar and the Ribbon (top of interface) for MicroStation CONNECT, while the TopoDOT 32bit tools are primarily located in the Taskbar of MicroStation V8i. The tools in TopoDOT 64bit (used in MicroStation CONNECT) are by default organized differently than TopoDOT 32bit (used in MicroStation V8i).
