Hello!
Recently I'm trying to convert a Bulgarian coordinate system 1970 to UTM, and i struggling whit it. I can find many points from CS (coordinate system) 1970 and their UTM coordinates from different CS converting programs.
I find this on the topic:
file:///C:/Users/Valeri/Downloads/2D%20Conformal%20Transformation-rev1.pdf but it seems so complicated.
I activated Bentley map in my Power Rail Track instance (i hope there is no extra charges :S ), but i still cant edit the GCS (geographic coordinate system)
And i find i can warp the file:
How can i use it?
What must contain the *.ctl file?
Is this i looking for?
---
I finde in GCS a system that is closest to ours:
but the latitude is from 43°37'12.0000"N to 48°15'36.0000"N, and its for Romania only. I need it from 41° to 45°
Can someone explain step by step how to procedure it please.
Regards,
A. Mateev
Hi, guys! Maybe the topic is old, but you can just use the free converter on:
https://www.cadastre.bg/en/node/30571Warning: The page is only in Bulgarian language, but you can use google Chrome translate plugin to understand what is written there. ADVICE: Best method is to convert from 1970 to ETRS89 and after that to convert to your own coordinate system in your native software ( I use QGIS for this transition)Good luck!

Hi again!
I menage to create GCS by place marks and re project to WGS.
In the text files you can see the Placemarks-70.txt file are my 1970 CS points. In Placemarks_trWGS.txt are points converted from a converting program.
My placemark set looks like this:
And the placemark 2 is in far left.
As you can see in the GCS from Placemarks dialog box, there is some error:
That means the program did not create the correct GCS (1970) but some close to it... (i think the program did not recognize the placemarks as Lambert Conformal Conic projection)
Is there a chance to make exactly the 1970 GCS by placemarks ?
You may have to build your Custom Coordinate System from Placemarks using the MicroStation tools for that. This PDF document provided by the ASPRS indicates that...
In the 1960s it was decided to use
the “System 50” only for military applications
and to introduce a set of plane
coordinates for civilian use. The new system
consists of four Lambert Conformal
Conic projections on the Krassovsky
1940 ellipsoid; the four overlapping
zones are K3, K7, K5, and K9. Each zone
is defined with a latitude of origin and a
scale factor at origin, and each zone has
a different initial azimuth of the central
meridian in order to rotate (and obfuscate)
the grid. The parameters remain
secret to this day, and this practice (including
zone rotation) is typical of many
of the former Soviet Bloc countries.
Here are some online Bentley Communities remarks and references for Placemarks:
