Adding an image service in MicroStation

The MicroStation Image Server Client dialog box has the Add Server Connection button that opens the Add Image Server Connection dialog box. This dialog box provides different options to add one or more image services to an application and display the service. The image service can be on your system or accessed over the network.

You can access a summary of the image service properties from this dialog box. Or, once the image service is added, you can access all the image service properties and make modifications to some of them, such as the transmission compression.
