Why don't ContextCapture and MicroStation use a common database/library for selecting SRS/GCS?

When I attach a 3mx to a dgn I received the following message:

The SRS I chose in ContextCapture that appears to be the same as the GCS I assigned in MicroStation.

ContextCapture SRS NAD83(HARN) / Washington South (ftUS) (EPSG:2927)
     MicroStation GCS EPSG:2927 - NAD83(HARN) / Washington South (ftUS)

Why don't both ContextCapture and MicroStation use a common database/library for selection of SRS/GCS?

It would also be helpful if all Bentley applications used consistent terminology.
The terms Spatial Reference System(SRS) and Geographic Coordinate System(GCS) are synonymous, so choose one for use in all Bentley applications.

  • Hi Ron,

    I've investigated a bit further and the problem is that only the names of both GCS are compared, which in your case are different.

    This is certainly a bug since the name only cannot be used to compare the equivalence of two GCS (i.e. : even if the names are different the GCS parameters might be identical).

    I'll bring the issue with product management,

    Thanks,

    Mathieu
