New GDA2020 Geocoordinate Systems in CE - how does it work?

Mark Shamoun — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:08:17 GMT

Hi,

Can someone explain how the newly added Projected Australian GDA2020 GCS works in Microstation CE U11?

We have the old GDA94 GCS group, a new GDA94-7P (7 Parameter Transformation to 2020), GDA94/GSB (GDA94 to 2020 using Grid Shift files) and a plain GDA2020 GCS group. If I reproject the data from the old GDA94 to the GDA-7P or GDA95/GSB GCS settings my data moves as expected, however nothing happens if I go from the old GDA94 to the new GDA2020.

How is this supposed to work?

Regards,

Mark

Products (again) renamed?

Hi,

today I realized on Software download page that Map products seem to be again renamed:

But I am confused, because I did not find any announcement or public information, and on www.bentley.com, old names are still used.

Really, ss product marketing team so bored staying at home office, so to rename the product again sounds like great idea? My experience is that the most of customers still do not understand and accept renaming from Bentley Map to OpenCities and are confused they do not see the product in product lists.

With regards,

Jan
