  • RE: Bentley Map RTK data collection

    Cliff, The ESRI software can produce several file formats. If you want graphics plus attribution, ask them to Export to Shapefile. Both Bentley Map and MicroStation can open/reference/import Shapefiles. When you import Shapefiles into Bentley Map, the…

    Is there a means to eliminate arcs and grouped holes from shapes created in Microstation when they are promoted to features in Map? Here is the whole process we use, so maybe we can find the best means to alter this process: We create shapes in Microstation…

  • Levels in a Reference all go to "Default" instead of individual levels

    Hello everyone, here is my situation: In what I will call Basemap "A", I used Bentley Map to import features from a GIS database into my DGN. Before importing the features into Basemap A as elements for manipulation, I changed the symbology of the levels…

  • Re: Connecting to the SAME Row in an ODBC connected Database

    My apologies! Certainly what you are asking is a valid application. Essentially a one-to many relationship. It is something MicroStation has supported for a long time with the idea of duplicate linkages. Here's my thinking on the subject. As I mentioned…

  • TerraSolid, Bentley Map and CityGML Exports

    I am using the TerraSolid package for detecting and digitizing buildings. This digitization happens in Bentley Microstation v8i. Now I wish to export these buildings to CityGML using Bentley Map v8i. How will this be possible?

  • Re: Connecting to the SAME Row in an ODBC connected Database

    True enough. Not everyone runs on the calendar year. We are expecting the release towards the end of June this year. In your example below, you want to associate a series of features with a record that indicates when those features may have been…

  • Reading XFM properties in MicroStation

    Is is possible to read XFM properties / attributes directly in MicroStation without Bentley Map being loaded (or installed). I have been asked to build a tool for MicroStation V8i the recenters the view based on XFM attribute values (a search tool). …

  • Start Map from within MicroStation

    This is a simple question. I have loaded Bentley MAP for Microstation. I just need to know if there is a way to start Map from within Microstation. I would like to be able to start it similarly to the way I can with InRoads (by calling an MDL) or similar…

  • Re: Geospatial Administrator existing dgn file

    If the DGN is already connected to Access then you need to define the database in the XFM project. To do so, go to the database node in the GSA and add the ODBC data source name. Create a feature that describes one of the features in your existing DGN…

  • Re: SHP file to DGN with resymbolisation.

    Unfortunately, Map features cannot be edit and properties cannot be seen in Microstation environment. You need to be in Map to work with it. Sebastien Lefrancois GeoSpatial QA

    At this point only geographic coordinates are supported. I will advise the MicroStation group of your request.

  • Re: Reading XFM properties in MicroStation

    Hi Ian, No, this is not possible. You will require the XFM engine running inside Bentley Map (or PowerMap) to be able to interpret the XFM properties (and the XFM object hierarchy, for that matter). So the options you have: Use Bentley…
