• State Plane Coordinate System 2022

    What efforts can we expect from Bentley in preparation for datum SPCS2022? Training, blogs, conversion information and services? From the looks of it, this will be a massive effort, especially if existing files input Survey Feet values to a DGN file…

  • RE: Custom Projection

    Greetings, Unfortunately your assessment appears to be correct with Bentley Map offering no support for your particular geographic coordinate system. To confirm, I've reached out to some of my colleagues responsible for the geographic coordinate system…

  • RE: Coordinate system transformation (local (1970) to UTM - 34N; 35N)

    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…

  • Re: display x y z coordinate

    In addition to the Running Coordinates, you can setup the display to read the Geospatial Coordinate System of the Design File. Use a combination of the Auxilary Coordinate System and the ACS Position settings as shown here: 1. Select Tools | Coordinate…

  • Re: Map V8i SS1 - Grid Generation

    Hi, Can someone recommend a version of Bentley Map to use, that doesn't have this problem? When is 08.11.09.xx version due to be release? I've had various issues with Bentley Map, namely trying to use the 'Grid Generator' and 'Grids and Graticules…

  • Re: XY TRACKING & REFERENCE COORDINATE SYSTEM-POWERMAP V8i

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

  • Creating LAT/LON Coordinate Value Labels with Bentley Map

    Users of Bentley Map often ask how they can generate text labels for their features containing LAT/LON coordinate values based upon the currently active geographic coordinate system. Users sometimes want to place the labels interactively (such as the…

  • Re: How to define a custom projection?

    I don't know if I could put a size on it but that sounds 'spatially large' to me! I presume you are using a local CS with something like 0,0 at the lower left (or similar) of the site. Perhaps you could define the appropriate state plane GCS for your…

  • Bentley Map V8i paper scale setting??

    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…

  • How can I setup a new datum for a new coordinate system

    Hi I need to define a new coordinate system to add to the Geographic Coordinate systems. There is no problem in defining the projection, which just another Transvers Mercator, the problem is that I need to define a new Datum How do I do that…

  • How to prevent users from reproject to/from a coordinate system when outside Min and Max Lat/Log

    Hi I have set up a user defined coordinate system that is only valid for a smalle area ( the Island of Fehmarn in Germany). In this I have set up min and max values of longitude and latitudes. Are there any way I can set up Bentley Map and Microstation…

  • Storage Unit Conflicts when Assigning Geographic Coordinate Systems

    I have been delivered a .dgn file and I need to define a coordinate system for its model. The file's metadata states that it is in a State Plane coordinate system in U.S. Survey Foot, but when I select that coordinate system from the library, I get the…

  • Viewing and modifying Datum Transformation Parameters

    Can we add this functionality into MicroStation V8i and BentleyMap V8i. It was there in MicroStation GeoGraphics and also BentleyMap XM. Where has it gone? I understand that assigning Geographic Coordinate Systems has been moved to MicroStation V8i and…

  • Re: How to define a custom projection?

    At this time the translation/scale/roatation parameters are not available for edit in the interface. We have filed a TR for this. However if your project is not spatially large you could get good results by implementing a local CS by using…

  • Unable to setup OSTN'02

    I'm having problems setting up this coordinate system. I'm setting up a brand new installation (new PC) and have installed the following versions of BM V8i and MS V8i. I have followed the previous method to setup OSTN'02 in Bentley Map as per the forum…

  • Re: Use of GeoCoord.system created with GeoGraphics in Bentley Map/PowerMap

    Frank, I suggest using BentleyMap V8 XM, I'm personaly really struggling to setup any custom CS in BentleyMap V8i. I don't think you will have any problems using the older version. Regards, Nick.

  • Re: convert coordinates

    Create a new model or a new DGN-File, use EPSG: 4326 WGS84 for thist new model or the model in your new dgn-file as the GCS open that new model or dgn-file attach your geocoord.dgn(deault model) as a reprojected Reference See: Maybe…

  • Importing Microsoft Access database using ODBC connection & VRT file

    Hello, I'm hoping to get some help here or some other suggestions on how to go about this. I'm trying to import a Microsoft Access database file into Bentley Maps showing all of our past jobs and general info relating to each project.…
