I am working with map files in V8 XM and will be switching to Map V8i later this year. All of our current map .dgn files are set with a certain paper map scale (ie. 500,000). In my current configuration when I open the coordinate system dialog box I can see and edit the coordinate system, map origin, and paper scale. When I bring my .dgn file and open it with map V8i and open the coordinate system dialog box there is no longer an option for paper scale. Can someone tell me where the paper scale setting are now located? Thanks
As Sebestan had said the functionality for this has been removed from map and placed into Plain ' ole Microstation. As a matter of fact, the UORS and working units you are talking about has been depreciated from Miicrostation for a long time, since the V8i file format, came to the market years ago. On the API level we still honor the OURS, but the TCB for that has been depreciated also. Thus the use of UORS is no longer needed. Can I ask if you can send one of the sample files (XM version ) along and we can take a look at it.

So I guess the quick question for now would be, where in Plain ' ole Microstation can I set paper scale?
I will look into getting a file and following up more later.
Thanks. Looking forward to the file.
