Map Mobile Publisher error

Hello.

I'm having some problems publishing an .imodel for Bentley Map Mobile.

I'm using MicroStation V8i (Ss4) version 08.11.09.838, Bentley Map V8i (Ss4) version 08.11.09.763 (for MicroStation) and I just installed Bentley Map Mobile Publisher version 05.05.02.218.

I was publishing an imodel for Map Mobile and it stopped with the following error dialog:

"Error protecting file:

[C:\Users\.....\Temp\[filename].i.dgn]"

And here is a clip from Message Center:

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Regards,

Bjorn

  • Dear Dan,


    We've made some progress. iModel was created when I detach WMS raster in original DGN file (Dugave.dgn) and convert DGN into iModel (Dugave.imodel) using Map Mobile Converter Shell.

    Many thanks for that. I'll explore other options from github as You suggested me.

    Another and related question is: when original DGN file is converted into iModel, there is no defined Geographic Coordinate System like in original DGN file.  Do You know anything about this problem?  My intention is to work with iModel on the field using GPS to navigate me.

    I even tried to add option for Converter "... --coordinate-system=EPSG:3765 ..." with same result.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Mladen

  • Have you tried it out in the field on the mobile device? 

    Map Mobile format is not a DGN and probably would not support reading data i.e. GCS from an imodel "dgndb" as we would from a "dgn" file... the iModel "dgndb" is a read only format designed for the Map Mobile platform.... Try it with the Map Mobile application to see if the data is in the correct location.



  • Hi Dan,

    I've converted DGN to iModel using this Command Line

    On mobile device data are on correct coordinates but not on correct location. Let me explain...

    Coordinates are ok (coordinates as numbers in EPSG:3765) but I can't turn on GPS ("...I'm outside of the map range.."), BingMaps won't show and driving directions shows I'm somewhere in Indian ocean Slight smile - everything points that GCS definition is missing.

    I ran out of ideas...

    Kind regards,

    Mladen

  • Dear Dan,

    I would kindly ask You to examine why data are not on correct location. Try convert attached DGN file into iModel using Map Mobile Converter and try it with Map Mobile application on tablet. In attached file is also .xwms just to be sure that data is in the correct location.

    Main problem is how to retain correct GCS during convert process and work with data in correct location on tablet.

    Many thanks in advance.

  • Thank you for the file Mladen, I've been working with it this morning and have to say, it's an odd problem.  The OpenCities Map software appears to have an issue with that specific EPSG value.  Also, the DGN File storage units are in Millimeters, so I'm looking at that too.  Were the cells and labels created and placed by the OpenUtilities software?
