does TopoDOT run on ContextCapture Editor from Bentley Systems?

As long as ContextCapture Editor runs on the MicroStation platform (V8i or Connect), TopoDOT should work as well. Doing a quick search on the product, it appears that it runs on the Connect platform. We can get together and test it if you’d like.
