I am extracting a point feature from ArcGIS, using the Bentley Geospatial Administrator. I have told it the level, symbology, cell to use, field to use for Cell Angle, and the location of the cell library. It finds the library, uses the correct cell, places it at the size I asked for and on the correct level. However, it never uses the Cell Angle field; it always places at 0.
The CellAngle field I have chosen does have nulls in it. Does this make any difference? I've also noticed that some of these angle fields in ArcGIS are double, and some are string. Does that matter?
Bob,
Are you using the "ProjectWise Connector for ArcGIS" to extract the ArcGIS/SDE data and create design files or are you using the "File > Interoperability > Import" functionality within a Bentley Map session?

Thank you for that clarification. Unfortunately the ability to use a database property (e.g. [Rotation802]) to define the "Cell Angle" for point features in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator does not exist at this time.
In the "File > Interoperability > Import" functionality, you can select a features business properties to use for rotation as seen in the following:
However that will not solve your needs as you are querying data from an SDE data source using a registered schema.
There is a potential solution that would allow you to solve this problem but would require custom development using the Bentley Map V8i (SELECTseries 4) 08.11.09 API capabilities. Do you or others from your staff have any C or C++ development experience?
