For bentley I use the book and not the software. I use the ETKA for parts
breakouts and a better idea and pictures of how some stuff is actually put
together or in some cases to find if the part I need is actually a
superceded part.
The two are totally different types of sourcing.
The bently disk does not have the pics in pdf format. They are in some kind
of proprietary format that the autobahn software uses.
