Descartes Merge vector with white background

Hi, could you upload your DGN to our FTP site?

Thanks,

You can look at the attached website links. The first website deals with the issue that you are having.

fmcallis, it seems that if I have the background set as white, the elements with color "0" are excluded from the export. This means that inversion is not a solution. Please see the video. Hopefully this makes my issue clearer and that other users can replicate the issue as well.

In the video, I am attaching a raster file just to have access to the merge tool.

Thomas,

I have duplicated what you are seeing. I opened a DGN file with a black background. I created circles and blocks and made 2 of the circles white and made the other ones to be red and blue. I changed the background from black to white and attached a raster image so the Merge command would work. The white circles changed from white to black when I changed the background color. I used the Merge command with it set to Vector Only and when the raster image was created it did not create the white circles. I will file a defect for the issue.

Thanks fmcallis.
I am looking forward to a solution in a future version.

Is there any other method I can use today that allows me to export rasters with geocoding? We have access to PowerCivil, Descartes and Map.

One option that you could do is change the element that was white with a black background that shows black when you change the background to white from 0 to 253, which is a black color. Another option would be to set the color mode to monochrome on your output image rather than RGB.

You can create your output file as a GeoTIFF or an Internet TIFF or a TIF image with a sister file and it will save the location where the output image is attached.
