What are the limitations to Bing Map usage?

Hi,

I'm currently taking advantage of the Raster Manager's ability to link to the live Bing Maps. An excellent enhancement.

What I'd like to know is this. Is there a documented list of limitations when using this aerial imagery?

For example, I'm not able to clip out (save an area as a file) the images using Descartes.

I'm not able to set a clip window around my area of interest - I recieve a message that says "Raster image is currently reprojected".

I am not able to drape the imagery onto a terrain surface (the triangles from a surface written into the DGN).

Are there other known limitations, or tools that do not work, with this streamed imagery?

Thanks,

Michael

  • Hello,

    Just reading this article on Bing Maps and I have a question relating to ProjectWise. I have a Drawing with a Bing map in it but when I use the rendition menu in ProjectWise to produce a pdf, it does print the Bing Map. Does the rendition menu need to be configured in some way to allow this or is it not possible? Using an ordinary Bentley print driver works fine.
