&lt;p&gt;I am using Microstation v8i SS4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have Bing maps on my cover sheet, one is a street map, and one is an aerial.&amp;nbsp; I received them from a client and one of the maps needs to be swapped out for a different map, but neither of the maps (vicinity, location) are not showing but appear as red text in the raster manager dialog.&amp;nbsp; I realize to clip the maps they need to be placed in an xref file to be clipped, which they have been.&amp;nbsp; I just need to fix the file so I can load the Bing maps and swap one of them out for a different type.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am new to Microstation and&amp;nbsp;have not used the Bing map functionality before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I have a deadline as usual and would like to put this behind me as soon as possible.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bing Maps</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/248070/bing-maps</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jul 2023 20:30:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3120f143-0402-4a44-8586-631104de16c9</guid><dc:creator>CADTech1</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;All,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to get the Bing Map copyright stamp to not appear on an image or in the clipped view that contains the image?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
