A technique we use is to create a new empty DGN and assign same geocoordinate system as the survey file and then attach the Bing Map. You should be able to reference that file and clip. It works for us with .xwms imagery, I haven't tried it with Bing…

Hi Johan, I have linked your SR 7001302949, 'Rotate Floor Manager by points' to Defect 38478: 'Ability to rotate Floor Manager floors by points or by element to the Floor'.

You can rotate a grid by three points to any underlying geometry, the angle will be accurate regardless of the angle readout display: please refer to the help topic Home > OpenBuildings Designer > Grid Systems. It is quite comprehensive and well illustrated…

However, rotation input to floor manager is still limited to text entry (it is older code). The ACS tools can be use underlying geometry to create ACSs by points with the same level of precision as the grid example above.
